Research direction

Update the Apache license links in the generated scripts mvnw and mvnw.cmd from http to https, using the already-correct links in maven-wrapper.properties as a reference. Review the generated files and confirm that their license links use https; the issue does not mention a specific test.

Description

maintenance priority:major

Michael Keppler opened MWRAPPER-92 and commented

The generated scripts mvnw and mvnw.cmd contain links to the Apache license texts. Please make them use https instead of http.

https is already used for the same links in other generated files, like maven-wrapper.properties (and should generally be the default nowadays).

Found because we monitor our own repositories with https://github.com/spring-io/nohttp


Affects: 3.1.1
