mvn deploy issue

Question

I am using maven 3.0.3 with nexus & jenkins

pom.xml

<distributionManagement> 
         <repository>
            <id>releases</id>
                               <url>http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8383/nexus/content/repositories/releases</url>
        </repository>

         <!-- Publish the versioned releases here -->
         <snapshotRepository>
          <id>releases</id>
          <name>nexus</name>
          <url>http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8383/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
         </snapshotRepository>
    </distributionManagement>

settings.xml

<servers>
<server>
<username>admin</username>
<password>bala</password>
<id>releases</id>
</server>
</servers>

When I do mvn deploy

I get the following error. Would like to know where I missed and what have I missed?

Answer 1

The <id> of your snapshot repository is the same as your releases repository. Name them differently, and then put in two server definitions in your settings.xml file. Also give the releases repository a <name>. Like this:

<distributionManagement> 
         <repository>
            <id>releases</id>
            <name>nexus releases</name>
            <url>http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8383/nexus/content/repositories/releases</url>
        </repository>

         <!-- Publish the versioned releases here -->
         <snapshotRepository>
            <id>snapshots</id>
            <name>nexus snapshots</name>
            <url>http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8383/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
         </snapshotRepository>
    </distributionManagement>

settings.xml

<servers>
<server>
<id>releases</id>
<username>admin</username>
<password>bala</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>snapshots</id>
<username>admin</username>
<password>bala</password>
</server>
</servers>
