Java API with AWS Fargate blueprint missing dependencies for apache-maven-3.8.6

Issue: For a project created from the Java API with AWS Fargate blueprint, the workflow fails with an error for missing apache-maven-3.8.6 dependencies. The workflow fails with output similar to the following example:

Step 8/25 : RUN wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.8.6/binaries/apache-maven-3.8.6-bin.tar.gz -P /tmp

Solution: Update the blueprint Dockerfile using the following steps.

  1. In the search bar, enter apache-maven-3.8.6 to locate the dockerfile inside the project created with the Java API with AWS Fargate blueprint.

  2. Update the Dockerfile (/static-assets/app/Dockerfile) to use maven:3.9.0-amazoncorretto-11 as a base image and remove the dependency on the apache-maven-3.8.6 package.

  3. (Recommended) We also recommend updating the Maven heap size to 6 GB.

Below is an example Dockerfile.


FROM maven:3.9.0-amazoncorretto-11 AS builder

COPY ./pom.xml ./pom.xml
COPY src ./src/

ENV MAVEN_OPTS='-Xmx6g'

RUN mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package

FROM amazoncorretto:11-alpine

COPY —from=builder target/CustomerService-0.0.1.jar CustomerService-0.0.1.jar
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["java","-jar","-Dspring.profiles.active=prod","/CustomerService-0.0.1.jar", "—server.port=80"]
