Autobuild uses very old maven and maven wrapper
Our project uses codeql autobuild with maven and java, with no issues in the past. However, current versions of a maven plugin (asciidoctor) requires a more recent maven version. It seem the autobuild always install this fixed ancient version of maven and maven wrapper:
[2024-02-16 08:54:31] [autobuild] [INFO] Maven Wrapper version 0.5.6 has been successfully set up for your project.
[2024-02-16 08:54:31] [autobuild] [INFO] Using Apache Maven: 3.6.3
We have maven wrapper configured in our repo for maven 3.9.6, and would expect that this is used, instead of a fixed 3.6.3.

Error: We were unable to automatically build your code. Please replace the call to the autobuild action with your custom build steps. Encountered a fatal error while running "/opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL/2.16.2/x64/codeql/java/tools/autobuild.sh". Exit code was 1 and last log line was: Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dhttp.keepAlive=false -Dmaven.wagon.http.pool=false. See the logs for more details.
Yes, this is reinstalling the Maven wrapper because its jar file is missing, and by default the wrapper-install action uses the version of Maven invoking it... which in this case is 3.6.3. The short-term workaround is to invoke ./mvnw --version before CodeQL's autobuild routine to download it yourself. Longer-term I'll fix this to notice that your mvnw is able to take care of that by itself.
Thanks for the workaround, does the job for us.
