PREREQUISITES

Before you begin, you must have done the following:

  • Requested and received confirmation that a Developer Tools Team account has been created.  You can always request a Developer Tools Team account at any time.

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

    ${renderedContent}

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

These instuctions assume the following:

  • The name of the Nexus Repository server is maven.mit.edu.  The actual server name may be different.

Overview

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.

The snapshot repositories can be accessed by using either http or https.

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

1. the settings.xml <server> element configuration

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

<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

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

<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.
