Thank you Brian, I am now using Nexus Repository Manager, and it does save me from a lot of hassle. It was easier than I thought. I just resisted at first, because switching from Ant to Maven was more work than I thought it would be, so I didn't want to get deeper into trouble with repository managers.
Is there a way to convert a local repository into a remote repository, or should I upload each artifact to Nexus again? (I have a few dozen). For now, I've copied my 3rd party section from my local repository directly to the Nexus 3rd-party repo, and it seems to work. I removed the metadata files, since they are local repo metadata. Of course, I'm now adding new 3rd party jars through Nexus. I've found this related issue, but it doesn't explain the solution: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-996 -Alex On Sat, Nov 29, 2008 at 8:27 PM, Brian Fox <bri...@reply.infinity.nu> wrote: > You could save youself a lot of hassle with a repo manager.
