Bamboo and nexus

[Deleted user]

Hi All,

Is there a way to get artifacts from nexus to bamboo in my builds.

I know after a build I can use the created artifacts in other child plans or new plans , but is there any way we can get from nexus first before doing the build?

We can the do the other way around that upload to snapshot nexus repository from bamboo using maven and pom.xml file.

But is the reverse allowed getting from nexus ? and yes can you please let us know the plugin name ? or any other way to do it ?

Thank you

Regards,

Thank you for your answer and sample pom file.

I will try to do the steps and let you know if I am stuck somewhere.

My requirement is when I run the build it should get the artifacts from my nexus hosted repository and should use those artifacts in the same buils.

I've added a sample pom to my answer.

Actually you can use maven and pom to upload and download artifacts. The trick is to create the correct pom file for that.

Sample pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
                             http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
 
  <groupId>dummy.group</groupId>
  <artifactId>dymmy-artifact</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>
 
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.googlecode.boost-maven-project</groupId>
      <artifactId>boost-thread</artifactId>
      <version>1.49.0-b1</version>
      <classifier>windows-amd64-msvc-release</classifier>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

Run:

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies

And you'll get all your dependencies in /target/dependency directory.

Also if you don't need to copy transitive dependencies you can use wget or curl to download a file from a repo (or any other http download tool).
