如何使用Maven，Jenkins Pipeline和Artifactory？

Question

I have a large, complex project, driven by Maven, built by Jenkins and reposing in Artifactory. Projects are configured as multi-branch pipelines, and Jenkinsfiles are working. I have been using the Jenkins Artifactory plugin with success. When a job is run (via the SCM trigger or directly) it all works correctly. However, the jobs do not respond to the 'Build whenever a SNAPSHOT dependency is built' trigger. This means that I can only 'pull' the build of a top-level project - whereas I want these to be built when the lower-level dependencies are modified. I am told that this (Jenkins) trigger will only work within a 'withMaven' step, and only when 'mvn' is called within a 'sh' step - and I've shown that it does work in this case. BUT I can't use the Jenkins Artifactory plugin inside the withMaven step. I have looked at the maven-artifactory-plugin (pushing the responsibility into the maven build), and this might be the way to go ... I wondered if anyone has managed to configure/use these tools successfully in this environment - and, if so, what combination of maven/jenkins plugins did you use? Thanks tim

I've had to use a combined approach, but this seems to work : All Maven projects use 'withMaven' to build and deploy with the pom.xml. Any projects which need more complex processing also have a separate Jenkinsfile, which uses the Jenkins Artifactory plugin. This allows the capture of the BuildInfo. I found there was no way to get my desired result using any other combination of plugins. G'luck
