We\'ve just upgraded out nexus installation to the latest release (3.x). Is there any way to get the latest version of a given snapshot artifact? Nexus 2 had a nice API whic

Answer 1

What a joke re: Nexus 3 having no REST API.

I found a hack that alleviates my problem. Turns out that ansible has a nice maven_artifact module that is somehow able to figure out the latest snapshot. And you can run ansible locally. So it ends up looking like this:

ansible all -i localhost, -c local -m maven_artifact -a "repository_url=https://my-nexus/repository/maven-snapshots/ group_id=com.whatever artifact_id=my-artifact version=2.0-SNAPSHOT dest=./my-artifact.jar"
