Infrastructure with maven, Jenkins, Nexus

Question

We are using maven. I want to set up infrastructure, so that automatically built artifacts would go to Nexus repository. And then they could be used by developers.

I

Answer 1

update pom.xml

 
    ...
    
      deploymentRepo
      Internal Releases
      http://nexusserver:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases
    
    ...
  

then for maven ~/.m2/settings.xml add (this is default deployment user in Nexus)

  deploymentRepo
  deployment
  deployment123
 

then mvn deploy

Then it is possible to use deployed artifact in any project, just as standard artifacts. In this case add to pom.xml

    
        deploymentRepoReleases
        Releases (Nexus)
        http://nexusserver:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/
    
    
        deploymentRepoSnapshots
        Snapshots (Nexus)
        http://nexusserver:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/
    

UPDATE: Later we went away from Snapshot repositories and were using maven-release-plugin that only needs repositories of release type.
