I'm not sure I understand your reply. We use dependency management to
specify versions (for both external & project dependencies), however that's
not the issue, we have no problem specifying the version to use for both of
those. What is only in view here are the multi-module project dependencies
and by definition they are all SNAPSHOTS as we have not released yet.
What do you mean "by definition"?
If the modules use the parent version as their version, they will be
SNAPSHOTS or releases depending on the parent pom having a version of
x.x.x-SNAPSHOT or x.x.x.
i.e. the module version is missing so that the parent's version is the
version of the module.
Any dependency in another module that is part of the project is set to
<version>${project.version}</version>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>anything-core</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Let me give an example that might help. The multi-module project is large
and is growing...you start out with these modules (all the versions are
1.0-SNAPSHOT).
groupId=com.mycompany.myproject
artifactId=artifactA, artifactB, artifactC, artifact1, artifact2, artifact3
This has been building with your CI system for 1 month when you realize you
really want these modules.
groupId=com.mycompany.myproject
artifactId=app-parent
groupId=com.mycompany.myproject.service
artifactId=artifactA, artifactB, artifactC
groupId=com.mycompany.myproject.transform
artifactId=artifact1, artifact2, artifact3
This too builds fine, however in reality somewhere in this new build is a
reference to com.mycompany.myproject:artifactA:1.0-SNAPSHOT...perhaps for
an unpack goal. The build is fine as Nexus will always have this artifact
although it was removed from the build during the refactor.
We want to purge all com.mycompany.myproject.* snapshots from Nexus so the
CI build will fail until the build is correct.

Using the parent pom to specify the versions of dependencies solves this
problem for most people.
If there are no SNAPSHOTS in the parent's properties and the parent poms
version is not a SNAPSHOT, then your project is not being built with
SNAPSHOTS.
We never worry about the SNAPSHOTs in the repo.

Yeah it appears our IT group is right...Nexus doesn't have a UI/feature to
do what we want. What other options are there?
This would seem a common need, major project does a refactor of Maven GA
and want to delete all SNAPSHOTS used by the project to verify the
refactor
is 100% complete. We have had too many cases where the build is still
pointing to an old artifact that isn't part of the build anymore yet the
build is happy because old artifacts are still in Nexus.

Hi David,

We use Nexus as our corporate Maven repository and would like to
periodically delete certain SNAPSHOT artifacts. We need to be able to
filter/select by groupId and by version...so delete all where
groupId=com.mycomp.mygroupid.* and version=X.SNAPSHOT.
You can only delete all kind of SNAPSHOT's in Nexus based on a time
frame
for example delete all SNAPSHOT's which are older than 30 days etc..
Our use case is that when we refactor part of the build to use new
groupIds
the old ones are not valid anymore however sometimes there is a
lingering
reference to the old groupId, if we can delete all the old SNAPSHOTS we
could find those errors now instead of when we release.
Any ideas on how to do this are much appreciated.
