(RESOLVED) Re: Could not find repository

Hello,

As the previous post becomes hard to read, I created this new post with the way as suggested by Peter Johnson.

The error I am getting is "

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project ixsystems-registration: Could not resolve dependencies for project ixsystems:ixsystems-registration:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: com.liferay.portal:util-java:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:util-bridges:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:portal-kernel:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:portal-impl:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:portal-service:jar:5.2.8: Failure to find com.liferay.portal:util-java:jar:5.2.8 in http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

The uploaded liferay 5.2.8 is not in the following path:

http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/liferay/portal/

I think there is a mis-configuration in my settings.xml file.
I have actually uploaded liferay 5.2.8 jar files to the following path:

http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/Liferay-ee-sp4-local/com/liferay/portal/

Please refer to attached settings.xml file and Snapshot of Sonatype about the Summary of the uploaded liferay 5.2.8.

I am not sure how to upload the files to http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/liferay/portal/
or how to change the settings.xml file?

Thanks
Sam

Hello,

I have uploaded liferay 5.2.8 artifacts ( jar files ) to the com/liferay/portal under "thirdparty" repository in Sonatype.

I also changed settings.xml in my ${home.dir}/.m2/ folder.

Here is my settings.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"

What do I have to change in settings.xml file so that maven find its server and liferay 5.2.8 libraries in "thirdparty" repository?

Thanks & best regards
Sam

Thank you anybody posted suggestion for helping me resolve this issue.
Especially thank Peter Johnson for your patient in helping me.

Best regards
Sam

You need to add this entry to your settings.xml to use you Nexus repository:

The "public" repository in Nexus is of type 'group' and is actually a proxy for the repositories configured in Nexus (you can change which repositories, but by default I think it is all of them).

Didn't you read the Nexus documentation? This setting is mentioned at:
http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/maven-sect-single-group.html
