Good writeup on deploying and using SNAPSHOTs?
I've been using maven for a number of years, but purely on the
consumer (build dependency management) side of things. Now, I'm trying
to figure out how deployment and consuming of my own deployed artifacts
works in maven. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to start
using maven's SNAPSHOT functionality.
I am struggling. I have been unable to find a good writeup on just how
all of this works. It seems that the repository has to be able to
generate metadata (.xml files) to keep track of the current snapshot
version. My current method of deploying doesn't seem to be doing this.
Is there a good writeup on setting all of this up? If so, I have been
unable to find it. If someone knows of such documentation and could
point me to it, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, why doesn't this
documentation exist?
TIA for any help!
Steve

If you are building your artifacts with Maven, you should run "mvn deploy".
deploy:deploy-file should not hang on you like this and you should ask
about that on the Nexus users list.

File a JIRA and perhaps someone will address it in the documentation.

Thanks for your reply!
Yeah, I guess I can try that if you think my trouble is really on the
Nexus side. I just wish there was some documentation for this stuff on
the maven side. I've found nothing that clearly explains how the
snapshot functionality works in maven. One of the tutorials states that
it will be discussed later in the document, but it never is.

You do know about the Nexus User list, right? I imagine they would be
very receptive to these kinds of problems and probably help you get
things working properly, or tell you what you're doing wrong etc if
you simply posted your issues there.
I would try that route to start.

I am using Nexus. I think I'm just not putting things into Nexus in
the correct way, or maybe I don't nave Nexus set up right.
I've been using 'curl' to put things into Nexus, which has always worked
prior to trying to get snapshots working. Using this method for
snapshots, when I try to make use of the snapshot as a dependency,
maven/Nexus complains about not being able to read some .xml file. I
assume it needs to read this to get information about what the current
snapshot it. Maybe using 'curl' is my problem. Maybe I have to use
maven deploy:deploy-file.
The problem with using deploy:deploy-file is that it locks up on me when
I try to use it. The file uploads completely (the feedback shows
dddddK/dddddK), but after that, the command just hangs forever. I went
and got lunch once with it doing the deploy, came back more than an hour
later, and it was still sitting there. So again, I'm wondering if maybe
I don't have Nexus set up correctly and that is causing this problem.

What is your current method? Why are you not using Nexus or another MRM?
