We will put maven under /opt so we first need to create that directory.

- name: Create /opt directory
  file: path=/opt state=directory

We then download the maven3 archive, this time it is more simple, we can directly use the get_url module.

- name: Download Maven3
  get_url: dest=/opt/maven3.tar.gz url=http://apache.proserve.nl/maven/maven-3/3.0.4/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz

We can then unpack the archive and create a symbolic link to the maven location.

- name: Unpack Maven3
  action: command creates=/opt/maven chdir=/opt tar zxvf /opt/maven3.tar.gz

- name: Create Maven3 directory link
  file: path=/opt/maven src=/opt/apache-maven-3.0.4 state=link

We use again update-alternatives to make mvn accessible platform wide.

- name: Set mvn link
  action: command update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/mvn mvn /opt/maven/bin/mvn 1

We put in place out settings.xml by creating the .m2 directory on the remote computer and copying a settings.xml (we backup any already existing settings.xml).

- name: Create .m2 folder
  file: path=${jenkins_home}/.m2 state=directory owner=jenkins

- name: Copy maven configuration
  copy: src=files/settings.xml dest=${jenkins_home}/.m2/ backup=yes

Clean things up.

- name: Remove Maven3 archive
  file: path=/opt/maven3.tar.gz state=absent
