Build Requirements

Builds use Apache Maven and require Java 17. Apache Maven wrapper scripts are included in the source tree.

Configuring Maven for SNAPSHOT Dependencies

Following best practices, the nexus-public POM does not include any root <repositories> elements.

Building From Source

Released versions are tagged and branched using a name of the form release-{version}. For example: release-3.72.0-04

To build a tagged release, first fetch all tags:

git fetch --tags

Then checkout the remote branch you want. For example:

git checkout -b release-3.72.0-04 origin/release-3.72.0-04 --

Then build using the included Maven wrapper script. For example:

./mvnw clean install -Dpublic

The public property is required outside of Sonatype's internal infrastructure.

Running

To run Nexus Repository, after building, unzip the assembly and start the server:

unzip -d target assemblies/nexus-base-template/target/nexus-base-template-*.zip
./target/nexus-base-template-*/bin/nexus console

The nexus-base-template assembly is used as the basis for the official Sonatype Nexus Repository distributions.
