you

must

have

the

following:


Panel


  • Requested and received confirmation that a private Nexus repository has been created.

    When you receive confirmaiton that the private repository has been created, you will given the following information:

    indent
    1
    1
    snapshot repository name\\
Team ID\\
Team list name\\

    You will need the above information to configure your Maven project so that it can access your snapshot repository.

...

Panel

Configuring a Maven project to access a snapshot repository requires setting up a name/password pair in the settings.xml file and associating the name/password with a specific distributionManagement repository which is defined in the project's pom.xml.

Items 1 and 2 below give the syntax of the entries for both the settings.xml and pom.xml files.  It is important to note the following:

  • The <id> element that is used in both the setting.xml (found in the <server> element) and the pom.xml (found in the <repository> element) is what associates the name/password pair with the private repository.  The <id> element in both places must be identical.  It can be anything you want it to be, the only restriction is that they must be identical.

  • In the settings.xml, the <password> element must be the Team list name that was given to you when you received your repository confirmation.  Refer to the PREREQUISITES section above.

  • In the settings.xml, the <username> element must be deploy#string.


Panel

The snapshot repositories can be accessed by using either http or https.  If you want to use https, then you must enable Maven for SSL operations.  Click here for instructions on how to use SSL with Maven.  Using https is highly recommended when using snapshot repositories.

...



For instructions on how the configure Maven for https, refer to:

1. the settings.xml <server> element configuration

Panel

Add a <server> element to settings.xml file.

Code Block
<servers>
    ...
    <server>
        <id>mySnapshotRepo</id>
        <username>deploy#string</username>
        <password>myTeamListName</password>
    </server>
    ...
</servers>


where myTeamListName has the form dvtl<Team ID>.

Example: if your Team ID is uadev, then the <password> element would be <password>dvtluadev</password>.

...

2. the Maven pom.xml <distributionManagement> element configuration

Panel

A snapshot repository can be accessed directly by adding the <distributionManagement> element below to your pom.xml:

Code Block

<distributionManagement>
    ...
    <repository>
        <id>mySnapshotRepo</id>
        <name>This is my snapshot repository</name>
        <url>https://maven.mit.edu/nexus/content/repositories/snapshotRepo</url>
    </repository>
    ...
</distributionManagement>

note: In the above <url> tag, snapshotRepo must be replaced with the name of your snapshot repository.
