Maven Internal Repository, Is it Really This Hard?
artifactory, maven, nexus
Solution
I would suggest to use the Nexus evaluation guide (latest available version is 2.13 now) that comes with the Nexus Pro Installer, but also works with Nexus Open Source for the simple use cases of proxying and deploying components.
The examples are also available on github and include setups for Maven, Ant/Ivy and Gradle. Once you have a look at the examples and read the guide you will be able to set up your projects in the same way easily.
And of course if there is any problems you can always ask on the mailing list or chat with the developers on hipchat
Problem
I have several projects which use Maven and I would like to run an internal repository on my work network. I have several libraries which are from third parties and cannot be released into the wild, as well as a few libraries of our own which need to be available within the network (including to our TeamCity CI Server) but cannot be deployed outside the network. After a bit of research, I found three main recommendations on how to accomplish this: Archiva, Artifactory, and Nexus. I have tried each, and have failed to achieve a successful build of any of my projects using the internal repositories created by any of them. This leads me to believe that I am misunderstanding something or doing something wrong. Does anyone know of a tutorial that will walk me through setting up and internal Maven repository and integrate it with my project?
