I tried to find a winget ID for Maven but there seems to be none since both

winget search -q maven
winget search -q mvn

dont deliver a proper result. Is there none or do I overlooked it?

  • If there were, it would be in [`manifests/`](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests) but, as of 2022-03, there's no `maven` in that repo. A previous manifest [was removed](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/16791) for using an unofficial download URL – Joe Mar 01 '22 at 11:14

I think there is none so far, as your research showed. git already adapted it but maven did not I think we can safely assume if both the official documentation and winget queries do not lead to a result that there is no formula yet.

    Support for installation of portable/standalone apps https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/182 and Support installing .zip files https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/140 are both in progress for the 1.3 release of the Windows Package Manager. – Demitrius Nelon Mar 04 '22 at 00:13

    FYI: Links mentioned by @DemitriusNelon should be https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/182 and https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/140 respectively – damd Jul 15 '22 at 06:48
  • The feature for [support for installing portables from a zip](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/pull/2500) has been merged and will be available in [winget 1.4](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.4.2011-preview). Though it may take some more time until the repository will accept zip files – kapex Nov 11 '22 at 09:52
  • I am not quite follwing @kapex, does that change my answer for now? – Xanlantos Nov 15 '22 at 20:31

    @Xanlantos No, your answer is still valid. Right now Winget still can't install Maven (because Maven is packed as a zip file), but Winget will be able to install zip files soon. So Maven _could_ technically be made available with the next Winget release, though I don't know if Maven developers have plans to do so. – kapex Nov 16 '22 at 10:23
