Automating upload of artifacts in Nexus using Maven

Question

Hi , Am trying to automate the process of uploading an artifact generated by Maven into a Nexus hosted repository (like a maven goal, which will upload the generated jar into a specified repository in Nexus). Is this possible? In the Nexus docs they have talked only about manual uploading.

I also looked at the nexus maven plugins and nothing like this is specified.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You have to use mvn deploy to deploy your artifacts via WebDAV (declare the Nexus DAV URL in the distributionManagement section).
