Maven cannot authenticate to Bitbucket to download artifacts from private repo

[Bytor]

I have a private Maven repo in my BitBucket account that I had been using for years until I let that project slide. I wanted to do more work on it but I found that the 1.0 API had changed. I figured out the new 2.0 API URL but now Maven will not connect.

I have verified that with curl -u … I can download the files using the same credentials set in my ~/.m2/settings.xml file for Maven.

What do I need to do to make sure that Maven can once again download artifacts?

Hi @Bytor

Thank you for reaching out to the community.

Would it be possible for you to confirm how you're using the credentials from ~/.m2/settings.xml?
Are you currently using environment variables?

You can also try to do a Curl command before your build command to see if Curl will also work on Pipelines or not.

Apart from that, I'd also recommend testing your Pipelines build locally in a Docker container to compare if it works there or not.
Ideally, if it works locally in a Docker container, it should also work on Pipelines.

Let me know how it goes.
