Adding maven nexus repo to my pom.xml

Question

I have installed nexus on my local machine. I want my pom file to point to this repo. How can I add my custom repository to my pom.xml file?

Answer 1

From maven setting reference, you can not put your username/password in a pom.xml

The repositories for download and deployment are defined by the repositories and distributionManagement elements of the POM. However, certain settings such as username and password should not be distributed along with the pom.xml. This type of information should exist on the build server in the settings.xml.

You can first add a repository in your pom and then add the username/password in the $MAVEN_HOME/conf/settings.xml:

  
    
        my-internal-site
        yourUsername
        yourPassword
