how to deploy my artifact on to my nexus?

Question

I am using nexus open source as my repository manager for Maven 3.0.3

Maven is able to create artifact *.jar.

Now, I would like to know how I can push the generated artifact *.jar to the nexus repo manager, so that other dependent modules can pull from it.

I referred to this guide.

In settings.xml, I have

    <server>     
            <id>nexus-site</id>
            <username>admin</username>
            <password>xxxx</password>
    </server>

It fails.

How can invoke my deployment from mvn command or how to deploy my artifact on to my nexus?

Answer 1

Just try

   mvn deploy

that will deploy your artifact to the nexus repo manager.

Have you configured the distributionManagement section ?

Answer 2

And if you want to add it to the snapshot repository, you need the following configuration inside your pom.xml

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
         <id>nexus-site</id>
         <name>MyCo Internal Repository</name>
         <url>http://Nexus url</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
         <id>nexus-site</id>
         <name>Your Snapshot Repository</name>
         <url>http://Nexus url</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
</distributionManagement>

Answer 3

Repository element should also be specified. Snippet:pom.xml

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>internal.repo</id>
      <name>MyCo Internal Repository</name>
      <url>http://Nexus url</url>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>
