Hi to all, I lost all night on your code and on maven-mongodb-plugin to discovered that the problem is on maven-mongodb-plugin and there are opened issues on follow links that ask to fix path to download MongoDB v7.0.0 LTS and other versions. I added what happened and why download go in error because MongoDB changed links to download application.

Actual MongoDB download link called by maven-mongodb-plugin is old and return access denied because that link ask to sign in to download non community versions.

In below issues in maven-mongodb-plugin github there are correct link to download community versions by maven-mongodb-plugin to fix the error:

• https://github.com/Syncleus/maven-mongodb-plugin/issues/5 and
• https://github.com/Syncleus/maven-mongodb-plugin/issues/7

Could you press maven-mongodb-plugin team to fix these URLs ? Must be simple,they will be in application.properties file in Java or in remote resources where recover these download links !

In our projects we can't try maven integration tests with MongoDB v7.0.0 LTS version in memory, so we need to mock service by code ! A lot of work added.

In our apps we are using your dependency and configure MongoDB in java heap memory by maven-mongodb-plugin for maven integration tests with MongoDB in memory before to build and deploy in CI/CD on cloud because maven in CI/CD can't access to internet it can access only for save docker image and deploy:

• SpringBoot v3.2.0 with WebFlux
• JDK 21.0.2
• MongoDB v7.0.0 LTS in reactive mode

Thanks a lot for your available, help us !

Please specify in wiki page to add this plugin so in alternative not arrive the execution to download MongoDB from MongoDB server. I arrived to download MongoDB after inserted:

<!-- To avoid MongoDB embedded in error on startup Maven Test -->
<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <argLine>
            --add-exports org.junit.platform.commons/org.junit.platform.commons.util=ALL-UNNAMED
            --add-exports org.junit.platform.commons/org.junit.platform.commons.logging=ALL-UNNAMED
            --illegal-access=warn
        </argLine>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

After dependency try to download file using maven-mongodb-plugin but URL to download is incorrect as write in first comment of this issue.

Could you fix UNAMED too to avoid to add on pom.xml the surefire configuration plugin? pom.xml became too big to add a dependency!

Thanks a lot for your available.

@skyblackhawk .. ok, hmm.. step by step..

• maven-mongodb-plugin --> the last commit in this project was 7 years ago.. you should not use this plugin..
• Could you press maven-mongodb-plugin team to fix these URLs ? --> i guess not
• ... using your dependency and configure MongoDB in java heap memory .. --> this projects starts a real mongodb server which is NOT working on java heap memory.. its a platform specific binary that is started as a process..
• CI/CD can't access to internet it can access only for save docker image and deploy --> you can host these artifacts by yourself (see https://github.com/flapdoodle-oss/de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo/blob/main/docs/Customizations.md#customize-download-url and if you are using the spring integration: https://github.com/flapdoodle-oss/de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo.spring/blob/main/HowTo.md#customize-mongod)
• Could you fix UNAMED - i guess you are using modules in test run which i would not recommend if not necessary .. to make this work i guess i have to change some stuff.. so its not an easy fix.
