How do I specify the settings.xml file location for Maven on Bitbucket Pipelines?
If you place a settings.xml file in the $HOME directory on your docker instance, it will be used to run your maven commands.
pipelines: default: - step: script: - cp <repo-path>/settings.xml $HOME/.m2/settings.xml - mvn clean install
Yes, we'd like to know how and specifically need to be able to configure the `<servers>` element with authentication info
I just copied the settings.xml file from my repo to the home directory before building.
cp <project-path>/settings.xml $HOME/.m2/settings.xml
mvn clean install
@Bryan Phillips,
That's how you update settings.xml in your local Maven repo, but we are talking about the remote settings.xml file that Bitbucket uses on the docker container when running mvn commands. At this point, I am guessing that the this files is a part of the maven:3.3.3 docker image listed in bitbucket-pipelines.yml
Oh, thanks @Bryan Phillips, this is awesome. Can you add this as an answer?
This worked for me when I replaced
<repo-path>
with
/opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build
I'm late to this conversation but I wanted to point out that the accepted answer here seems to imply that the maven credentials are stored in a settings.xml file in the source code repository.
This is a security risk as you should never store credentials in source code repos.
Instead, you should store your credentials in BitBucket Pipelines Secure Environment Variables and then substitute them into a settings.xml file during your build step.
We created a guide that demonstrates how to do this as part of getting pipelines setup with maven repositories in a professional, secure manner.
For anyone coming along seeking an example please check it out:

Good luck!
Hi ,
any one know, what is the $HOME path here?
