Re: [tycho-user] Use mirror for multiple Nexus p2 unzip repositories

That's why I'm not using the Nexus P2 maven plugin but rather a feature of Nexus that is able to export a Maven hosted repository as a P2 repository !!!!

Hi Jeff,

As far as I can tell, a repository group in Nexus groups Nexus repositories, and there isn't a way of grouping specific paths/artifacts within a Nexus repository (i.e. a path pointing to an virtually unzipped repository, like http://<nexus>:8081/nexus/content/unzip/P2UnzipVirtualRepository/<groupId>/p2-repo-artifact/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/p2-repo-artifact-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip-unzip/).

I would like to proxy a number of such p2 repositories without each user needing to specify each of these URLs explicitly, as that would demand a lot of maintenance, for example, adding an entry for each and every version being used.

Why can't you group them in Nexus ?

Hello all,

We have a team with a slow/unstable connection to our main Nexus server. I have created local proxy repositories for our Tycho builds, however I would like to make settings.xml configurations as simple as possible, with as little ongoing maintenance as possible.

For basic Maven builds, I am able to group a number of repositories together, then use the following syntax to use mirrors of all repositories:
<mirror>
    <id>nexus_mirror</id>
<url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/proxy</url>
    <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
</mirror>

I am having trouble coming up with a similar solution for Nexus p2 unzip-type repositories. The Tycho build expects the exact mirror url provided by settings.xml to be a p2 repo. As I have no way of grouping the various final urls of unzipped p2 repos into a repository group in Nexus, I am wondering if there is a solution for using mirrors of a number of p2 repositories from Tycho without specifying each mirror explicitly and individually in settings.xml?

Thanks very much in advance,

Irene
