Repository Test

Perform the steps below to test the Nexus repository running on the Pi. You’ll need the IP Address of the Pi you found earlier when you setup the OS.

1. Create a simple maven settings file (mysettings.xml) that will redirect to your Pi to resolve any required libraries.

   <settings>
       <mirrors>
           <mirror>
               <id>mirror-central</id>
               <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
               <url>http://the-Pi-IP-address:8081/repository/maven-central/</url>
           </mirror>
       </mirrors>
   </settings>
   

   Here’s a file you can use: mysettings.xml Don’t forget to replace the-Pi-IP-address with actual IP address of your Pi.

2. Run any maven build with a custom settings file to use your Nexus repo. Just add the -s parameter to use this settings file:

   mvn -s mysettings.xml package
   

3. You should see maven resolve various dependencies via your Nexus repo on the Pi.
