Maven deploy-file for batch upload

Unfortunately in the Nexus 3.5 and 3.6 version there is no batch upload of artifacts (in Nexus 2.X it was much easier: just rsync your Maven repo and "rebuild index"

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-file-mojo.html

git clone https://github.com/gabrielf/maven-samples

git clone https://github.com/ronbadur/maven-artifacts-uploader

I start nexus with https://github.com/sonatype/docker-nexus3

sample command:

mvn -e -X deploy:deploy-file -q -DpomFile=/home/centos/myrepo/org/vafer/jdependency/1.1/jdependency-1.1.pom -Dfile=/home/centos/myrepo/org/vafer/jdependency/1.1/jdependency-1.1.jar -DrepositoryId=nexus -Durl=http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-releases/ -Dpackaging=jar


maven's settings.xml should contain

<server>
      <id>nexus</id>
      <username>admin</username>
      <password>admin123</password>
    </server>

If you get "ReasonPhrase: Repository does not allow updating assets: maven-releases." , make sure you set "allow redeploy" in the Deployment policy"

If you get "Cannot deploy artifact from the local repository:" it's because your source file is inside the .m2/repository folder - which is forbidden
