[tycho-user] Publishing artifacts to Nexus

[Dan Dromereschi <ddanny@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

We have setup a Maven + Tycho build for one of our OSGi based applications. We managed to make it build the required contents of a P2 repository that we can later add to a target platform definition in Eclipse.

However, we would also like to get the artifacts published to a Nexus repository. I am using a local version of Nexus 1.9.2.2 for testing.

Having the following mirror definition in .m2/settings.xml, I get some stuff published to the http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public repository, but not our application's bundles. For instance, I can see there org.eclipse.tycho, commons-cli, commons-collections and many others.

  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <!--This sends everything else to /public -->
      <id>nexus</id>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
      <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>nexus</id>
      <!--Enable snapshots for the built in central repo to direct -->
      <!--all requests to nexus via the mirror -->
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>central</id>
          <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
          <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
          <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
     <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
          <id>central</id>
          <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
          <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
          <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
        </pluginRepository>
      </pluginRepositories>
      <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>central</id>
          <layout>default</layout>
      <name>Nexus</name>
      <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
    </repository>
      </distributionManagement>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
  <activeProfiles>
    <!--make the profile active all the time -->
    <activeProfile>nexus</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>


Also, for every bundle that is built, I see the following log message:
[DEBUG] Ignoring Maven repository nexus (http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public)

Adding  the following to the parent bundle/pom.xml will copy the artifacts to the specified directory on my machine:
    <distributionManagement>
      <repository>
        <id>central</id>
        <layout>default</layout>
        <name>Nexus</name>
        <url>file://d:/test00</url>
      </repository>
    </distributionManagement>

However, after modifying ( <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url> ) it to publish to the Nexus repository I get the exception below:
....................................................................................
Caused by: org.sonatype.aether.transfer.ArtifactTransferException: Could not transfer artifact ....parent:pom:1.0.0-20111004.183056-1 from/to central (http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public): Failed to transfer http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/spectraseis/riocad/com.spectraseis.riocad.parent/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/com.spectraseis.riocad.parent-1.0.0-20111004.183056-1.pom.

Any help is much appreciated.
