It's possible to put binary files on nexus repository?

问题

At my work all development uses Java technology, and we use Nexus to manage our Maven repositories. But for a new project, the build requires dll and exe artifacts. Is it possible to put those windows binary files into a Nexus repository? Is there some plugin to make this simpler? Is what I'm trying to do crazy?

回答1:

I use Nexus to store all the binary dependencies that I download from the internet.

You can upload the files using the Nexus GUI or use the Maven command line as follows:

mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -Durl=$REPO_URL \
    -DrepositoryId=$REPO_ID \
    -DgroupId=org.apache.maven \
    -DartifactId=maven \
    -Dversion=2.2.1  \
    -Dpackaging=zip \
    -Dfile=maven.zip

This will generate the POM for your zip package automatically.

To retrieve dependencies, you can just navigate to the Nexus URL, or use a generic dependency manager tool like ivy:

java -jar ivy.jar -dependency org.apache.maven maven 2.2.1 -retrieve [artifact].[ext]
