Eclipse Nexus Instance

The Eclipse Nexus instance is hosted at: https://repo.eclipse.org

This repository allows Eclipse projects to publish their build artifacts into a centralized repository hosted by EMO.

Notes:

• Snapshots older than 30-days are automatically removed on a weekly basis

Pulling artifacts from Nexus

To use repo.eclipse.org to pull artifacts for your project there are a few URLs that can be used.

Releases Group

https://repo.eclipse.org/content/groups/releases/

This URL is a top-level aggregate of all project releases repositories. This URL is recommended if you just want to pull in releases from any project hosting artifacts on repo.eclipse.org

Eclipse Snapshots Group

https://repo.eclipse.org/content/groups/snapshots/

This URL is a top-level aggregate of all project snapshots repositories. This URL is useful for developers who want to pull in artifacts that may have not yet been released usually nightlies.

Project Specific Repos

Finally you can also use a project specific repo if you only want to ensure you are only pulling artifacts from specific projects. To get the URLs for these projects you can navigate to https://repo.eclipse.org/index.html#view-repositories and browse for the URL link for the specific project.

Deploying artifacts to repo.eclipse.org

To deploy artifacts to repo.eclipse.org using Maven you will need to add a "distributionManagement" section to your project pom. An example below:

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>repo.eclipse.org</id>
      <name>Project Repository - Releases</name>
      <url>https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/project-releases/</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
      <id>repo.eclipse.org</id>
      <name>Project Repository - Snapshots</name>
      <url>https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/project-snapshots/</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
  </distributionManagement>

Replace instances of the word "project" with your project's name.

You will also need to add to your ~/.m2/settings.xml a section to configure your credentials. For example:

  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>repo.eclipse.org</id>
      <username>your_committer_id</username>
      <password>your_committer_password</password>
    </server>
  </servers>

id: should match the ID for the repository as specified in the project pom file. username: should be your eclipse.org committer ID password: should be your eclipse.org committer password
