Short guides

How to use Artifactory as Maven repository

GÉANT Artifactory Repositories

Artifactory allow to create three repository types: local, remote and virtual. In GÉANT we use all of them, to understood how it works read read http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Understanding+Repositories page on Artifactory documentation page.

Each GÉANT development projects have their own local repositories:

• project-release-local - This repository contains all project release artefacts.
• project-snapshot-local - This repository contains last 3* project snapshot artefacts.
• project-ext-libs (optional) This repository contains dependency unavailable in public Maven repositories)

Working with Repository in Maven

1. Request for project internal repositories in SWDSD Help Desk Portal (https://jira.software.geant.org/servicedesk/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?projectKey=SWDSDcustomer/portal/2)
2. Setting Up a Maven Deployment Descriptor You can follow: http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Configuring+Deployment or:
2.1. Provide configuration in main POM file eg.:

2.2. Provide your credentials in settings.xml file.

• Get into your profile page (click on your login name on the upper-right corner) and type-in your current password.
• Once you enter a correct password you will see your password in the Encrypted Password field.
• Copy this value (including the { ...\ } prefix) or use the sample server xml snippet in your settings.xml (you'd have to change the server name to match the id of your repository).
  Eg.:

  
  

  <server>      <id>GEANT Artifactory</id>     <username>psnc.kupinski</username>     <password>\{DESede\}000000000</password> </server>

  
  

3. Try to deploy snapshot artefacts.

            <id>artifactory</id>
            <repositories>
                <repository>
                    <id>central</id>
                    <name>libs-release</name>
                    <url>https://artifactory.software.geant.org/artifactory/repo</url>
                </repository>
            </repositories>
            <pluginRepositories>
                <pluginRepository>
                    <id>central</id>
