Codehaus Maven Repository Usage Guide

1. Introduction

Codehaus uses Sonatype Nexus to provide Maven repository hosting service: https://nexus.codehaus.org/. You can deploy snapshots, stage releases, and promote your releases which will be synced to Maven Central. All you need to do is to create a JIRA request and make some POM/settings configuration. This document will guide you step by step.

2. Create a JIRA ticket

Go to Haus Chores and create a Task with:

• Project: Haus Chores
• Component: Nexus
• Description:
  • your project URL
  • maven groupId of your project (one or more)
  • SVN URL of your project

We will update the ticket when Nexus repository is prepared for you.
