Maven Artifact

A Maven artifact is a reference to a Maven artifact stored in a Maven repository.

These artifacts are generally consumed by stages that deploy application artifacts, such as a Deploy stage.

The files stored in a Maven repository are typically called “artifacts”, so on this page, “Maven artifact” may refer to a Spinnaker artifact of type maven/file or to a file (e.g. a JAR file) stored in a Maven repository.
