How to configure Sonatype Nexus repository with Maven?

 

Automatic dependencies is one of the powerful feature of Apache maven and its one of the reason Maven is very popular in developer community. Maven resolve the dependent library from local repository which is again connected with central repository or remote repository. thus we can say that Maven has 3 kinds of repository concept.

 

1. Local repostory e.g $USER_HOME/.m2
2. Central repostory e.g http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/
3. Private repostory e.g Sonatype Nexus, Artifactory, Archiva etc.
The diagram shown below represent how maven resolve the dependendency.

 
High Level Interaction between Local Repository, Central Repository and Remote Repository.


Dependency Management using Local Repository, Central Repository and Remote Repository.

This is How maven interact with Repository!


This is a diagram which shows the define flow in which maven try to resolve the dependency.

 

Now, We have understood that Central rrepository is in built but next questions is, How to inform the maven about the location of remote repository? In order to configure maven with remote repostory, in our case SonaType Nexus, we need to configuring host machine setting.xml and projects pom.xml to use your Nexus repos.

 

Put this in your ~/.m2/settings.xml file. This will configure the credentials to publish to your hosted repos, and will tell your mvn to use your repo as a mirror of central:

And now configure your projects.

If you want only to download dependencies from Nexus, put this in the pom.xml:

and

Add the following at the end of setting.xml

<activeProfiles>

    <!–make the profile active all the time –>

    <activeProfile>nexus</activeProfile>

  </activeProfiles>

top-5-open-source-release-management-tool
Few days ago, I published an article in which i covered the topic Top five release management tools which are high in trend these days. Today, I am going to write on the same topic but there is one difference, today we will discuss about open source release management tools.
In this article I am going to share top 5 open source tools for Release Management. But, if you want to know about Release management and it’s benefits than you can check out the previously written article here.
So, Without any further ado in this article, let’s directly move to the main section.
Let’s check out open source release management tools.
1. CruiseControl
 CruiseControl
CruiseControl basically known as continuous integration tool. It can be used in Release management process. Cruisecontrol is an open source tool which is written in java and supports cross platform and it was developed by CruiseControl development team and initially released in the year 2001. You can extend this tool with the help of plugins and extensions.

2. Luntbuild
Luntbuild
LuntBuild is known as Build management and continuous integration tool. This one is another open source release management tool which is written in java ans supports cross platform. This tool is developed by PMEase. This tool is easy to install and configure. It has a clean web interface.

3. Maven
Maven
Maven is also known as build tool but it’s also an open source release management tool which is written in java and supports cross platform. Maven was initially released in the year 2004 and developed by Apache Software Foundation. Maven can also be used to build and manage projects written in C#, Ruby, Scala, and other languages.

4. Jenkins
Jenkins
Jenkins is one of the most popular tool for Continuous integration but it can be used as a release management software. This software is written in java and it was initially released in the year 2011. It was developed as a Hudson project as Sun Microsystems which was later take over by Oracle corporation. The great thing about this tool is its functionality can be extended with plugins.
5. Subversion (SVN)

Subversion (SVN)

Subversion or SVN is a versioning and revision control system but it also can be used as Release management software . You can say this one is the leading release management tool in the open source category. This tool is written in C and it supports cross platform was developed by  CollabNet Inc in the year 2000.

Sonar team released Sonar Maven Plugin 1.0-beta-2

by scmgalaxy KRelease, News & UpdatesLeave a Comment on Sonar team released Sonar Maven Plugin 1.0-beta-2

sonar-maven-plugin

The Sonar team is pleased to announce the release of Sonar Maven Plugin, version 1.0-beta-2.

It makes configuration easier when using a repository manager like Archiva or Nexus. Indeed no additional settings are required anymore ! Let’s remind that the version 1.0-beta-1 needs to declare a mirror in maven settings or to add a new repository to the manager.
This improvement requires Sonar 2.2+. It is automatically disabled when using sonar 2.1 or less. Upgrading to this version should be automatic if the shortcut “mvn sonar:sonar” or the hudson plugin are used.
