Nexus: removing repository

Question

Hi, I accidently removed a hosted snapshot repository from Nexus containing a few artifacts needed by other developers on my team. Fine, I'll be able to recreate it fairly easy, but when I tried to add the repository again with the same name as the one I removed, the "Upload Artifact" tab did not show. I tried to clean the cache and reindex the public and public snapshot repos, but that didn't help. I also tried setting an alternative storage path by entering an alternative path on "Override Local Storage Location", same result. Will I have to create a brand new repository with a different name and change all repository reference in my projects?

Thanks, David

You should be able to create the new repo without any problem. It's possible you where inheriting permissions to this repo via a group and when you made the new repo you didn't add it to the group.

Also, all delete operations in Nexus simply move files to the sonatype-work/nexus/trash so you could have just copied all those files back directly on the disk after recreating the repo.
