Bundled mvnw is broken on Unix-like platforms since 0.45.0

[xenu]

Describe the bug
Bundled mvnw binary is broken on Unix-like plaforms (such as Linux) since 0.45.0

To Reproduce

1. Try creating a new Maven project with the "maven-archetype-quickstart" archetype
2. Observe cryptic errors in the terminal:

Executing task: "/home/xenu/.vscode-server/extensions/vscjava.vscode-maven-0.45.0/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw" org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.1.2:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId="maven-archetype-quickstart" -DarchetypeGroupId="org.apache.maven.archetypes" -DarchetypeVersion="1.4" -DgroupId="com.example" -DartifactId="demo" -DoutputDirectory="/home/xenu/git/java-new" 

/usr/bin/bash: line 1: /home/xenu/.vscode-server/extensions/vscjava.vscode-maven-0.45.0/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw: Permission denied

Expected behavior
No errors.

Environments (please complete the following information as much as possible):

• OS: Debian 13 on WSL2
• VS Code version: 1.106.3
• Extension version: 0.45.0

Additional context
This caused by the fact that the bundled mvnw script has no executable bit set and also has the wrong line endings (CRLF instead of LF). It is a regression from 0.44.0.

0.45.0:

$ file vscjava.vscode-maven-0.45.0/extension/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw
vscjava.vscode-maven-0.45.0/extension/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with CRLF line terminators

$ stat -c "%A" vscjava.vscode-maven-0.45.0/extension/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw
-rw-rw-rw-

0.44.0:

$ file vscjava.vscode-maven-0.44.0/extension/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw
vscjava.vscode-maven-0.44.0/extension/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable

$ stat -c "%A" vscjava.vscode-maven-0.44.0/extension/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw

Hi @xenu, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Workarounds

• Manually fix the bundled mvnw after installation:

  • Set the executable bit:

    chmod +x ~/.vscode-server/extensions/vscjava.vscode-maven-0.45.0/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw

  • Convert line endings to LF:

    dos2unix ~/.vscode-server/extensions/vscjava.vscode-maven-0.45.0/resources/maven-wrapper/mvnw

• Bypass the broken wrapper by pointing to your system Maven in VS Code settings:

  "maven.executable.path": "/usr/bin/mvn"

A proper fix (restoring the +x bit and LF endings) is planned for the next extension release (e.g. 0.45.1).
