I uploaded file using mvn deploy:deploy-file but I uploaded wrong file. How can I update or remove this file if I don't have direct access to nexus?
Ask your Nexus admin to delete it through the UI.
If this is a SNAPSHOT, you also have the option of deploying the same file using the same version number. That way, when others reference 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT, they get the intended version. And eventually the bad SNAPSHOT will probably get deleted through a scheduled job. This is a decent workaround while you contact your Nexus administrator.

I'm having an issue where an external tool is being used to make a call which causes mvn to download a dependency on the fly. This download however is calling the "central" enterprise artifactory repo rather than one of our normal artifactory repos and I'm trying to figure out how to make it mirror the enterprise repo to point to the appropriate repo.
All I've seen indicates I should be able to do this by setting the mirror in the settings.xml file, and I've passed the path to this settings file via the -s option.
But the mirror is still being ignored.
Is there something special about making a command to use a dependency via the commandline that bypasses mirrors?
It appears that the reason setting mirrors wasn't working was because the deployment mechanisms in place weren't actually setting the xml files as intended. To get around it we added code to modify the .m2 folder to contain the xml files as part of the script run during deployment.
I am trying to build aperturejs with Readme.md instructions.
I cloned the repository and tried the command mvn clean install in the root directory of ApertureJs.
I got the following Build Error as in the screenshot,
I am using the latest version of Maven - 3.3.9
Thanks in advance.
By reading the error in your console, I could feel that you are not authorized to access the particular repository, which is shown in your console.
Copy the repository url and try it from a browser - hope you will not be able to access the repository, since you are not authorized.
Raise appropriate access and after getting access, then try mvn clean install.
Below is the Quick fix till the time you get the access:
Copy and Paste the respective jar/pom/folder from your colleague machine, in your .m2/repository/...
Run the mvn clean install with -o option so that it will look into your local repository for building your application
Thank you. The issue is solved. I posted this issue to Uncharted Software's Salt Repository and exactly like Clement Said, I was trying to access a repository that no more has access publicly. Therefore they gave a workaround.
It is available here -> https://github.com/unchartedsoftware/aperturejs/issues/22
Thanks a lot.
For now I have a batch file with commands for update projects using svn and calling maven 'clean install'. How to create some job in Jenkins for similar actions?
Should I write it to ant file (sorry if it's stupid idea, I've just heard about it but I don't know what is it exactly and what can I do with this) or there is other way?
Thanks
Like arghtype suggested, you need to be using Jenkin's own Source Code Management by configuring SVN as SCM source and supplying credentials as part of Maven build job.
If you have to use your own local working copy, you are organizing it wrong, you will lose on all the benefits of having Jenkins manage SVN changes, and in the end, this organization will give you more unsolvable problems in the future. Think about the advice people are giving here and come with up a reason why you need to have a local workspace outside of Jenkins management on a Jenkins build machine. My only guess is: your Jenkins and Development machine are the same. That again is not how it should be organized. Jenkins is a CI-server, not a personal build "automator".
Regardless, if you still want to do what you say.
What you think you want
Create a new Freestyle job
Under Build Steps, click Add build step
Select Execute Windows batch command
Write your batch execute command in there. Your working directory will be Jenkins's $WORKSPACE, so change your path accordingly to where you want to run it.
But with the above configuration, you might have as well put the batch file under windows scheduler... You are not really using Jenkins with the above.
What you should do instead
Create a new maven2/3 build job
Under Source Code Management, select Subversion
Under Repository URL enter the remote SVN repo (i.e. http://your.svnsever.com/path/to/project)
Under Build, enter your Root POM location (this will be relative to the location of your SVN checkout, so if your POM is under http://your.svnserver.com/path/to/project/maven/pom.xml, then enter maven/pom.xml.
Under Goals and options, enter clean install
Click Save
The Source Code Management section will take care of setting up a local workspace and checkout the repository into that workspace. By default, every time a new build is triggered, it will run svn update on that workspace for you.
The Maven Build step will take care of running your Maven, however note that it is configured to use default ~/.m2/repository location. If your local maven repo needs to be different, change this under Jenkins Global Configuration
Create a new job.
In Source Management choose Subversion, specify your repo and credentials.
Add a new build step - maven build, specify your maven goals ('clean install').
Jenkins is a CI(contiounus integration) server. It can be used to generate scheduled builds of ant or maven based projects. It can also start building projects by some triggering event such as a commit to SCM (git, svn, mercurial,...)connected to it. You really have to read its documentation to get a better understanding. It has nice tutorials.
I compiled a jar file in one project so it can be consumed in the 2nd one. I can see the jar file in .m2 folder. But in the 2nd project it complains about artifact not found.
I guess I have to force maven to update indices/cache something but don't know what exactly. Any tip, thanks.
Update: thanks for all good suggestions.
Turns out that the maven plugin (of IntelliJ) in the second project doesn't update its index. I use command line it compiled ok.
try using -U (aka --update-snapshots) when you run maven
And make sure the dependency definition is correct
You can also use this command on the command line:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository clean install
If you are installing into local repository, there is no special index/cache update needed.
Make sure that:
You have installed the first artifact in your local repository properly. Simply copying the file to .m2 may not work as expected. Make sure you install it by mvn install
The dependency in 2nd project is setup correctly. Check on any typo in groupId/artifactId/version, or unmatched artifact type/classifier.
Even though this is an old question, I 've stumbled upon this issue multiple times and until now never figured out how to fix it. The update maven indices is a term coined by IntelliJ, and if it still doesn't work after you've compiled the first project, chances are that you are using 2 different maven installations.
Press CTRL+Shift+A to open up the Actions menu. Type Maven and go to Maven Settings. Check the Home Directory to use the same maven as you use via the command line
Click settings and search for "Repositories", then select the local repo and click "Update". That's all. This action meets my need.
If you are struggling with authenticating to a site, and Maven is caching the results, simply removing the meta-data about the site from the meta-data stash will force Maven to revisit the site.
gvim <local-git-repository>/commons-codec/resolver-status.properties
I run my own little Maven repo for some open source. I have no dedicated server so I use a Google code repository, deploy to file system and then commit and push. Works perfect for me.
But some Maven tools are looking for a nexus-maven-repository-index.properties and the index (in GZ). I would like to generate this index to
get rid of the warning that it's not here
Maven doesn't try the repo for artefacts that are not there.
How can I do that? Is there a tool (Java main) that is able to generate an index? Also tips how to use the proper Nexus Jars with a little commandline tool are welcome.
I came across this post while I was searching for a solution to add a local repository to my Maven project using IntelliJ Idea.
Since Sonatype changed their paths and reorganized the downloads since the last post, here is an updated step-by-step tutorial to get your repository indexed for use with IntelliJ Idea:
Download the latest stand-alone indexer from here.
Extract it somewhere and go into this directory
From the console, run this command: export REPODIR=/path/to/your/local/repo/ && java org.sonatype.nexus.index.cli.NexusIndexerCli -r $REPODIR -i $REPODIR/.index -d $REPODIR/.index -n localrepo
In the directory .index within the repository directory, some files will be created including the file "nexus-maven-repository-index.gz" which is the file IntelliJ looks out for.
You can use the Maven Indexer CLI to product the index directly, but why bother hosting your own repo when OSS projects can use a hosted one for free?
http://nexus.sonatype.org/oss-repository-hosting.html
I was looking at maven indexer... but I am not sure what for is the last parameter indexDir in the method:
public RepositoryIndexer createRepositoryIndexer(String repositoryId,
File repositoryBasedir,
File indexDir)
is it like starting point in the repositoryBasedir?
