maven deploy works with snapshots but 404 for releases
maven, nexus3
Solution
You are not able to deploy staged releases because you're using the community edition of Nexus right now, and it does not support this functionality.
For now you need to remove the `nexus-staging-maven-plugin` configuration from your pom.xml and the regular
mvn clean deploy
will "just work" (but without staging).
Problem
I am trying to deploy to our internal nexus repository. I have configured a maven project where I can do a `mvn install` and `mvn clean deploy`. The odd thing is when I remove `SNAPSHOT` from the version, I get a `404`. Here is my pom.xml that works for `SNAPSHOTS`: ``` <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>MavenExample</groupId> <artifactId>com.mycompany</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <distributionManagement> <repository> <id>nexus</id> <url>http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-releases/</url> </repository> <snapshotRepository> <id>nexus</id> <url>http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-snapshots/</url> </snapshotRepository> </distributionManagement> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.sonatype.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>nexus-staging-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.6.3</version> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <serverId>nexus</serverId> <nexusUrl>http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-releases/</nexusUrl> <!-- update this to the correct id! --> <stagingProfileId>myid</stagingProfileId> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> ``` When I change `<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>` to `<version>1.0</version>` I Get this error: ``` [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-staging-maven-plugin:1.6.3:deploy (injected-nexus-deploy) on project explicit-staging-example: Execution injected-nexus-deploy of goal org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-staging-maven-plugin:1.6.3:deploy failed: Nexus connection problem to URL [http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-releases/ ]: 404 - Not Found -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

[ERROR] [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/PluginExecutionException ``` They are both available in nexus: I have tried adding different plugins but no luck. I'm not a maven expert so any help would be greatly appreciated!
