Setting Nexus Maven Repository Manager on Windows
By admin on Dec 25, 2008 in Java, open source
Setting Nexus Maven Repository Manager on Windows is easy. You can download and follow the instructions in Maven Definitive Guide. Below are the summarized steps.
1. Download the latest Nexus webapps bundle.
2. Unzip it to a folder that you want.
3. Goto “bin\jsw\windows-x86-32″ folder. Run InstallNexus.bat and then StartNexus.bat. Nexus will be installed as a Windows service using Java Service Wrapper.
4. Point your browser to http://localhost:8081/nexus, login as admin/admin123.
5. Create or modify the file settings.xml under <Document and Settings>\<user name>\.m2 folder. Here is the content of my settings.xml
1: <?xml version="1.0"?>
2: <settings>
3: <mirrors>
4: <mirror>
