Hello NG, I plan to create a simple private maven repository from some of my libs. I googled for instructions of how to create an repository but only found guidance using repository manager like nexus or similar.
But I want to make it as easy as possible. I have access to an webserver via sftp. So I create a <distributionManagement><repositor>... in my pom.xml and call maven with mvn deploy -Duser.name=<sftp-user> After building the project maven asks me for the password and uploads the Jar to the server. Then it asks me again for the password to handle the metadata end ends with an exception ... [INFO] [deploy:deploy {execution: default-deploy}] Password for ... Uploading: ...1.0.0.jar 63K uploaded (...-1.0.0.jar) [INFO] Uploading project information for ... 1.0.0 Password for ... [INFO] Retrieving previous metadata from private-repo Password for ... INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error installing artifact's metadata: repository metadata for: '...' could not be retrieved from repository: ... due to an error: Error occurred while downloading '.../maven-metadata.xml' from the remote repository:Repository[...]: syserr: No such file or directory, file: ../maven-metadata.xml [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 24 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Mon Sep 14 19:49:11 GMT 2009 [INFO] Final Memory: 21M/38M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So what went wrong? How do I create this maven-metadata.xml and how do I include this file into my deploy? And can I run my repository in this way (uploading via sftp, downloading using the webserver)? After creating an initial version of the maven-metadata.xml manually the deploy worked. But IMO this is no solution to edit this file manually every time a new artifact is deployed into the repository. Thanks for your help, Cheers, Thomas -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Error-during-deploy-in-private-repository-tp25530426p25530426.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
