Maven Nexus Repository

Question

I have a private Nexus repository set up for Maven on one PC in my LAN. I want to connect to the same Nexus repository from another PC in my LAN. How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

You have to make the changes in installed Maven/conf and setting.xml file and something like below which i did for Artifactory.

<pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
          </snapshots>
          <id>central</id>
          <name>remote-repos</name>
          <url>http://localhost:8081/artifactory/remote-repos</url>
        </pluginRepository>
        <pluginRepository>
          <snapshots />
          <id>snapshots</id>
          <name>remote-repos</name>
          <url>http://localhost:8081/artifactory/remote-repos</url>
        </pluginRepository>
      </pluginRepositories>

Answer 2

You need to setup the settings file: http://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference/config-maven.html#ex-maven-nexus-simple

Make sure to use the IP address/ name of the machine running Nexus instead of localhost.

AFAIK, this should work out-of-the-box: https://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference/running.html
