Hi John,
It seems you have read some documentation but may have missed some relevant
pieces. Artifactory is a binary repository manager which means it is also a
Maven repository manager. A repository manager, as explained on the Apache
website (http://maven.apache.org/repository-management.html) does just what you
are asking Artifactory to do. Do not confuse a Maven repository with a Maven
repository manager, a repository manager aggregates both internal and external
repositories. The internal repositories store artifacts while the external
repositories proxy and cache artifacts. The Artifactory user guide should
explain everything you need to configure both your third party jars internal
repository and your external repository to proxy Maven Central
(http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+User+Guide).
As for publishing the artifacts to Artifactory, I don't use Jenkins so I'm not
sure what Maven goal is being called. Make sure it is calling the deploy
plugin. Providing the log snippets would help.
HTH,
Ken

repository
Still not making any headway. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Please forgiven my ignorance. I'm new to both Atrifactory (running 2.6.6) and
Maven, and I need a little guidance. I'm confused on how to use Artifactory
(OSS edition) for both my libraries and 3rd party libraries. Currently, my
projects (libraries and web apps) are Netbeans Ant based, but I'm in the
process of converting them to Maven (maybe I should go Ivy, but whatever). So,
some of my web apps and libraries I'd like to add to Artifactory, but only if
Artifactory can be used as a Maven repo. Then, I need to add third party
libraries because they aren't in Maven central, yet.
I'd like to break this out into a few issues.
First, is Artifactory meant to replace, or proxy, Maven Central? So, I'm under
the impression that I configure my development Maven settings.xml to point to
my Artifactory instance and it will act as a central for my projects and a
proxy to Maven Central. Is that correct? If that is the case, how to I
configure both the Artifactory server (which has maven installed) and my
development machine?
Second, as of now, LibreOffice is not in Maven Central. There is an open task
at LibreOffice, but I'd like to set up my own local Maven repo to make these
available for now. I found the page to upload jar artifacts, which I've added
each jar one at a time. But how can I package multiple jars to use the
multi-artifact upload feature? I'd like them to act as a single unit of
artifacts.
Third, since I'm using Netbeans Ant based projects with Jenkins, how can I
publish my libraries to Artifactory? I was able to configure Jenkins to
publish the artifacts, and the project build tree is created, but no artifacts
are published? My Jenkins job settings are as follows:
[X] Ant/Ivy-Artifactory Integration
[X] Capture and publish build info
[X] Publish artifacts to Artifactory
[X] Use Maven compatible patterns
Ivy pattern: [organisation]/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml
Artifact pattern:
[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]
Include Patterns: dist/*.jar
Exclude Patterns: dist/javadoc
Again, I can see my project in Artifactory with the following details, but no
artifacts are published. I checked the logs and can't find an error. BTW, I'm
running Artifactory in Glassfish 3.1.2.2.
General Build Info:
