An adventure into archiva and maven

archivanotes.txt

Download archiva from http://archiva.apache.org/download.cgi

extract it to /opt/archiva/

cd /opt/archiva/bin
./archiva start

thats it :) 

access it http://server-ip:8080/archiva or  
 http://server-ip:8080/   for archiva 1.4 onwards

to make the client to use the repo edit $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml

and add this stuff inside <mirrors> tag

<mirror>
	<id>archiva.central</id>
	<url>http://192.168.1.7:8081/archiva/repository/internal</url>
	<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
if you run archive latest 1.4 M3 then url may change to 

	<url>http://192.168.1.7:8081/repository/internal</url>

this will proxy the requests only for maven central repo 
to proxy all the requests change from 

<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
to
<mirrorOf>*<mirrorOf>

Eclipse _ M2 eclipse Gotchas

Even after configuring settings.xml eclipse wont fetch artifacts from proxy,
Because eclipse is using its own settingfile from /home/yuva/.m2/settings.xml
 to fix this  we need goto ->>
Window--> preference-->(search for maven) --> user settings --> user settings --> browse --  
select the $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml

==== Now Lets start uploading our internal artifact to our internal archiva  repo =====

Publishing artifacts with sources on archiva

How to create jar archive of projects sources with maven
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11628968/how-to-create-jar-archive-of-projects-sources-with-maven

while uploading the jar artifact genreate the source of the artifact by using following command mvn sources:jar (For this to work you should have included maven sources plugin in the pom.xml)


=================TroubleShooting ====================

If artifacts are not downloading from the out local archiva. 
please provide a valid settings file in eclipse m2e windows-->Preferences-->Maven-->userSettings --> User Settings


Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
ArtifactDescriptorException: Failed to read artifact descriptor for commons-lang:commons-lang:jar:2.6: ArtifactResolutionException: Failure to transfer commons-lang:commons-lang:pom:2.6 from http://10.30.0.127:8080/repository/internal was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of archiva.central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact commons-lang:commons-lang:pom:2.6 from/to archiva.central (http://10.30.0.127:8080/repository/internal): Failed to transfer http://10.30.0.127:8080/repository/internal/commons-lang/commons-lang/2.6/commons-lang-2.6.pom. Error code 500, Unable to fetch artifact resource.	pom.xml	/url-app	line 1	Maven Dependency Problem

Then goto archiva web console --> Proxy Connectors --> click the edit of internal --> Releases -->Drop Down --> always


If artifacts are not downloading then check the reports . 

http://10.30.0.127/#reports

It may contain what is missing 
eg: 

com.xxx.monitoring.uptime.client 	uptime-client 	0.2 	com.xxx.monitoring.uptime.client/uptime-client/0.2 	missing-pom 	The artifact's POM file '/opt/archivajs14M3/repositories/data/repositories/internal/com/xxx/monitoring/uptime/client/uptime-client/0.2/uptime-client-0.2.pom' was missing 



To upload sources jar also along with artifacts jar add the following snippet to pom.xml
