Hi Arjay, The ideal scenario is that Archiva should be the one to retrieve the artifacts from the repository on-demand (proxying). You can configure it's behavior on how it gets artifacts from the remote repositories. (See http://archiva.apache.org/docs/1.2/adminguide/proxy-connectors.html for more details about this)
You can also copy and paste the artifacts to the Archiva repository in the file system, but make sure that you leave out the metadata files :) You would also need to update the last modified date of all the artifacts in your repository so that they would be processed during the repository scanning. This can easily be done by executing the following command in the base directory where the Archiva repository resides: find [REPOSITORY_DIRECTORY_NAME] | xargs touch (I'm not sure what the counter part of this command in Windows) Execute the repository scanner after you've updated the last modified date of the artifacts.. * *HTH, Deng On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 12:19 AM, Ajay Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > Can some one please confirm if this (Copy paste) is something which will > work..or is there any issue with copy paste jar files ? > > On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 11:45 PM, Ajay Kumar <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Hi All, > > > > I downloaded the Archiva 1.2.
