Jaikiran Pai commented on IVY-1621:
-----------------------------------
Failure of Ivy against Nexus 3 seems to be an major issue. I haven't had a
chance to look into Nexus 3. I don't have a Nexus 3 (prod) installation handy
to try out a few things. If there are some public facing Nexus 3 instances that
I can check out and try this against, please do let me know. In the meantime, I
will try and install Nexus 3 locally one of these days to give it a try.
> Create maven-metadata.xml in Maven repository (Nexus)

> Key: IVY-1621
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1621
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven Compatibility
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0
> Environment: * ivy 2.4.0 or 2.5.0
> * Sonatype Nexus 3.x repo manager
> * ant 1.10
> Reporter: Alexander Ziller
> Priority: Major
>
> h1. Goal:
> Use ivy dependency management where dependency has revision
> "latest.integration"
>
> h1. Problems:
> Ivy cannot find the artifact with revision "latest.integration".
>
> h1. Cause:
> Ivy uses 2 methods to find the revision "latest.integration" depending on
> setting "useMavenMetadata":
> *true*
> ivy attempts to load the file "maven-metadata.xml" which was supposed to be
> generated by the client uploading the artifact (in this case: ivy!).
> {color:#de350b}This fails as IVY does not generate/upload the
> maven-metadata.xml file in the repository{color}
> *false*
> ivy attempts to do a HTML listing of the directory of the artifact.
> {color:#de350b}This fails because in Nexus3 the HTML browsing of the repo
> uses another base URL than it was done in Nexus2 or the Maven Repo{color}
>
> h1. {color:#172b4d}possible Solution:{color}
>
> {color:#172b4d}During upload of an artifact (especially SNAPSHOT) let IVY
> generate and upload the maven-metadata.xml as well so it can use its own
> logic during download to find the correct version.{color}
>
> h1. {color:#172b4d}Further details:{color}
>
> {color:#172b4d}another developer also found this problem and created an
> example code to verify the behavior:{color}
> {color:#172b4d}[https://github.com/dgeissl/nexus-ivy-example]{color}
