[ANN] Apache Maven Wrapper 3.3.1 Released

[Tamás Cservenák <cs...@apache.org>]

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache
Maven Wrapper, version 3.3.1

The Maven Wrapper is an easy way to ensure a user of your Maven build has
everything necessary to run your Maven build.

See https://maven.apache.org/wrapper/ for instructions on how to use Maven
Wrapper.

You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the download page:

https://maven.apache.org/wrapper/download.html

Release Notes - Maven Wrapper - Version 3.3.1

** Improvement
    * [MWRAPPER-132] - Inlined mvnw Downloader.java uses `new URL(String)`,
which is deprecated in Java 21
    * [MWRAPPER-134] - Provide a reliable way to determine the Maven
Wrapper version

Enjoy,
-The Apache Maven team

Thanks for this new feature, the new `wrapperVersion` property will make it easier for update bots like Renovate to automatically suggest updating to a newer version of Maven Wrapper. Work for Renovate is happening already via https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/discussions/28648.

I have one more question though: because the default type changes from `bin` to `only-script` with Maven Wrapper 3.3.0, all of our projects also got changed from `bin` to `only-script`, because Renovate’s upgrade command doesn’t explicitly set `-Dtype=${type}`.

Is there a way to upgrade an existing Maven Wrapper installation to a newer version of the same type without having to specify `-Dtype=${type}` to match the current installation type? If not, would you consider also introducing a `wrapperType` property in `.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties`, so external tools can determine the installation type to use for the update?

Thanks, Nils.
