How to use Nexus groups with Hudson to deploy artifacts post-build?
- by John
Hi there. I'm currently setting up Hudson to push artifacts to my Nexus repository upon succesful builds. Unfortunately I am having some trouble with getting Hudson to deploy using Nexus groups.
I have two groups, upbeat.nexus (private) and public.nexus (public). I've set up the associated repositories in Nexus already. Here's my settings.xml:
<settings>
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>upbeat.nexus</id>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
<url>http://localhost:8099/nexus/content/groups/upbeat</url>
</mirror>
<mirror>
<id>public.nexus</id>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
<url>http://localhost:8099/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>upbeat.nexus</id>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>upbeat.central</id>
<url>http://central</url>
<releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>public.nexus</id>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>public.central</id>
<url>http://central</url>
<releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
</profiles>
<servers>
<server>
<id>upbeat.nexus</id>
<username>build</username>
<password></password>
</server>
<server>
<id>public.nexus</id>
<username>build</username>
<password></password>
</server>
</servers>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>upbeat.nexus</activeProfile>
<activeProfile>public.nexus</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
In Hudson, when setting the "Deploy artifacts to Maven repository", I need to specify the repository URL and the repository ID. I've set the repository ID to "public.nexus" but if I set the URL to http://forge.upbeat.no/nexus/content/repositories/public and the ID to public.nexus I get the following error:

Any tips on how to deploy to a group so I don't have to specify (in Hudson) whether or not I am building a snapshot or a release version, and instead have it look at the version-tag in the pom to automatically place the artifact in the correct repository?
