Configure Maven to Deploy on Nexus

Removed

Today we will give the tip to deploy your war on Nexus.

So, in order to be able to deploy you war on a remote Repository using Maven, you need to add some configuration to your pom.xml. Here the lines to add :

<distributionManagement>
 <repository>
  <id>releases</id>
  <name>Releases</name>
  <url>http://NEXUS_ADDRESS:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url>
 </repository>
 <snapshotRepository>
  <id>snapshots</id>
  <name>Snapshots</name>
  <url>http://NEXUS_ADDRESS:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
 </snapshotRepository>
</distributionManagement>

You need to make sure that you have the right to deploy on the repository otherwise you may have an error like this :

 Access denied to http://NEXUS_ADDRESS:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/my_project/my_project/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/my_projectm2m-0.0.1-20141125.092913-1.war. Error code 401, Unauthorized -> [Help 1]

So if you have access to the server using login/Password, you can provide that information in the .m2/setting.xml file :

<server>
    <id>all</id>
    <username>user</username>
    <password>password</password>
</server>
