Thank you all for the feedback provided so far. I was not aware of Maven Wrapper coming in 3.7, and also the plain sh script seems to be right the approach the https://github.com/sdkman/sdkman-action took. I just ping Eddú to know his feedback on the sdkman-action since it's not even listed in the market and, from the context, I think that can easily pass the Verification requirement since it's hosted in the sdkman organization.
As I wrote at the beginning of the thread, defining a specific maven version is just one of many other maven related actions. For example, I've found issues with the default settings.xml included in GitHub actions and shrinkwrap-resolve so I ended up using actions like whelk-io/maven-settings-xml-action and then migrated to the sh script approach Romain mentioned after Apache infra recommendation was to remove the usage to non verified actions.
