Matt Burgess updated NIFIREG-456:
---------------------------------
Component/s: NiFi Registry
> Switch to using maven artifact for bundling Swagger UI
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFIREG-456
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-456
> Project: NiFi Registry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: NiFi Registry
> Reporter: Kevin Doran
> Priority: Minor
>
> *+Background+*
> NiFi Registry bundles a Swagger UI as a convenience for
> documenting/interacting with the REST API. The Swagger UI (ALv2) is currently
> obtained by downloading a tarball from a github archives location during the
> build using the download-maven-plugin (which calls wget):
> https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/main/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-core/nifi-registry-web-api/pom.xml#L132
> The files needed for hosting a Swagger UI are then extracted and copied to a
> static asset directory in the NiFi Registry web server, and configured to use
> the NiFi Registry swagger.json.
> The downside of this is that to build NiFi Registry from source, an internet
> connection is required. To build offline, or on a network without public
> internet access, the -Pno-swagger-ui profile can be used, but this disables
> this feature that may be useful.
> A better way to obtain this dependency would be from Maven Central, where on
> a disconnected network, a nexus mirror could be used for building. The same
> Swagger UI files can be obtained via the org.webjars::swagger-ui::<version>
> artifact in Maven Central:
> https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.webjars/swagger-ui
> By adding this dependency, and unpacking/repacking the files needed during
> the build, it makes the build more flexible as alternative repository
> locations can be specified locally.
> *This task is to migrate from using the download-maven-plugin pulling from
> github archives to using a standard maven dependency and repacking the jar
> files to achieve the same result for the bundled Swagger UI.*
