Bruno Borges 668c1ea991 docs: add post-install keytool import for the JDK cacerts trust store (#1051)
Document how to make the installed JDK trust an internal CA at application
runtime by importing it into $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts with keytool
after setup-java runs. Clarifies this is the runtime trust layer, distinct
from the download/transport layer (NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS), and notes hosted vs
self-hosted persistence caveats.

Bruno Borges a9a46fbe09 docs: document self-signed certificate / internal CA handling for GitHub Enterprise (#1050)
Adds an advanced-usage section explaining the 'self signed certificate in
certificate chain' error seen on GitHub Enterprise Server and behind
TLS-inspecting proxies. Recommends the secure fix of trusting the internal
CA via NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS (or the OS trust store on self-hosted runners),
with a GitHub Enterprise callout, and warns against disabling TLS
verification since the JDK download has no checksum fallback.

copilot-swe-agent[bot] 47340fb2e8 test: update maven cache error test name for extensions.xml 2026-06-22 20:59:43 +00:00

copilot-swe-agent[bot] 7cec43d3da feat: add .mvn/extensions.xml to Maven cache key pattern
Closes #990

Maven build extensions declared in `.mvn/extensions.xml` can introduce
additional plugin dependencies (e.g. lifecycle participants, custom
packaging types). Including this file in the cache key hash ensures that
changes to extensions — which affect what plugin JARs Maven downloads —
properly invalidate the cache, preventing stale caches from missing
newly-required plugin dependencies.

Changes:
- src/cache.ts: add `**/.mvn/extensions.xml` to Maven pattern array
- __tests__/cache.test.ts: update pattern expectations; add new test
- README.md: document the new file in the Maven cache key hash list

The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [toolkit/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under hood for caching dependencies but requires less configuration settings. Supported package managers are gradle, maven and sbt. The format of the used cache key is `setup-java-${{ platform }}-${{ packageManager }}-${{ fileHash }}`, where the hash is based on the following files:
- gradle: `**/*.gradle*`, `**/gradle-wrapper.properties`, `buildSrc/**/Versions.kt`, `buildSrc/**/Dependencies.kt`, `gradle/*.versions.toml`, and `**/versions.properties`
- maven: `**/pom.xml` and `**/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties`
- maven: `**/pom.xml`, `**/.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties`, and `**/.mvn/extensions.xml`
- sbt: all sbt build definition files `**/*.sbt`, `**/project/build.properties`, `**/project/**.scala`, `**/project/**.sbt`
When the option `cache-dependency-path` is specified, the hash is based on the matching file. This option supports wildcards and a list of file names, and is especially useful for monorepos.

***NOTE***:
For the tool-version file, ensure that you use standard semantic versioning (semver) formats, as non-standard formats (such as jetbrains-21b212.1) may not be parsed correctly. Additionally, for complex version strings containing multiple version-like segments (for example, java semeru-openj9-11.0.15+10_openj9-0.32.0), the extraction logic may incorrectly capture the last segment (0.32.0) instead of the main version (11.0.15+10).
## Self-signed certificates and internal CAs (GitHub Enterprise)
When `setup-java` dynamically downloads a JDK, it makes HTTPS requests both to fetch the available version metadata and to download the JDK archive. If your runners sit behind a **TLS-inspecting corporate proxy**, or you are on **GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES)** with an internal certificate authority, those requests can fail with an error such as:
```
Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain
```
This happens because the certificate presented to the runner is signed by an **internal or self-signed CA** that is not part of the runner's default trust store. The download itself is fine — the runner simply cannot verify the certificate chain.
### Recommended fix: trust your internal CA
The secure way to resolve this is to make the runner trust your organization's CA, which keeps TLS verification fully enabled. `setup-java` runs on Node.js, which honors the [`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#node_extra_ca_certsfile) environment variable. Point it at your CA bundle (in PEM format) **before** the `actions/setup-java` step:
```yaml
steps:
# The CA bundle is already present on the runner image in this example.
# Alternatively, write it from a secret in a previous step.
- name: Trust the internal CA
run: echo "NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/etc/ssl/certs/internal-ca.pem" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '21'
```
If you keep the certificate in a secret rather than on the runner image, write it to disk first:
```yaml
steps:
- name: Write and trust the internal CA
run: |
echo "${{ secrets.INTERNAL_CA_PEM }}" > "${RUNNER_TEMP}/internal-ca.pem"
echo "NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=${RUNNER_TEMP}/internal-ca.pem" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '21'
```
For **self-hosted runners**, you can instead install your CA into the operating system's trust store (for example, `update-ca-certificates` on Debian/Ubuntu or `update-ca-trust` on RHEL). This makes the certificate trusted for all tooling on the runner, not just `setup-java`.
### GitHub Enterprise customers
On **GitHub Enterprise Server**, traffic from your runners frequently passes through an organization-managed proxy or terminates TLS at an appliance using a certificate from an internal CA. If your workflows hit the error above, set `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` to your enterprise CA bundle (or bake the CA into your self-hosted runner image) as shown above. Coordinate with your platform team to obtain the correct PEM bundle for your appliance and proxy chain.
### Security warning: do not disable certificate verification
Do **not** work around this error by disabling TLS verification (for example, by setting `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0`). `setup-java` does not verify a pinned checksum or signature of the downloaded archive, so **TLS is effectively the only integrity guarantee** on the JDK download. Disabling verification would expose your workflow to a man-in-the-middle attacker who could serve a tampered JDK — which then becomes the `java` used by the rest of your pipeline, with access to your secrets and credentials. Always extend trust to your CA instead of turning verification off.
### Trusting an internal CA inside the installed JDK
The guidance above makes the **runner** trust your CA so that the JDK can be *downloaded*. That is a separate layer from making the **installed JDK** trust your CA at *application runtime*. If your build steps (Maven/Gradle dependency resolution, integration tests, HTTPS calls from your app, etc.) connect to internal services that present a certificate from your internal CA, the JDK will reject them with errors such as:
```
PKIX path building failed: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
```
The JDK keeps its own trust store — a keystore named `cacerts` under `$JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts` — which is independent of the operating system and Node trust stores. After `setup-java` has run (so that `JAVA_HOME` points at the freshly installed JDK), import your CA into that keystore with `keytool`:
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
with:
distribution: 'temurin'
java-version: '21'
- name: Import internal CA into the JDK trust store
shell: bash
run: |
# Write the CA from a secret (or reference a file already on the runner)
echo "${{ secrets.INTERNAL_CA_PEM }}" > "${RUNNER_TEMP}/internal-ca.pem"
keytool -importcert -noprompt \
-alias internal-ca \
-file "${RUNNER_TEMP}/internal-ca.pem" \
-keystore "${JAVA_HOME}/lib/security/cacerts" \
-storepass changeit
```
Notes and caveats:
- The default keystore password for `cacerts` is `changeit` unless your distribution overrides it.
- On **hosted runners** the change applies only to the current job's JDK and is discarded when the job ends, so include the import step in every job that needs it.
- On **self-hosted runners**, importing into a tool-cache JDK persists for as long as that cached version remains on the runner; if you want it to survive JDK reinstalls, pre-seed the CA into your runner image or re-run the import step each time.
- Prefer giving the certificate a stable, descriptive `-alias` so re-runs are idempotent (re-importing the same alias will fail; add `keytool -delete -alias internal-ca ...` first if you re-run within a long-lived runner).
This documents the post-install workflow; there is no dedicated action input for supplying a custom `cacerts` file.
