Publishing artifacts with sources on archiva

[Pavol Vaskovic <pa...@pali.sk>]

At work I'm dipping my toes in managing project dependencies with  
maven. We use Apache Archiva (1.2-M1) as a local repository and proxy.  
I'm adding artifact for open source project, that is not published on  
any public repository. I've learned that to publish the sources I  
should use the Classifier field on Upload artifact page. The sources  
are then listed alongside the jar and pom when I browse the repository.

But when I update my maven dependencies I get only the jar and pom  
from the repository. I noticed that sources are also missing when the  
archiva proxies for me the downloads from other public repositories. I  
didn't find any configuration options in Archiva's admin pages to  
serve the sources... What am I missing?


I am using the Maven Integration for Eclipse. When it installed  
artifacts from public repositories, they were downloaded with sources.  
 From Archiva they come without sources. It least that's who I blame  
based on my observation... Same results from command line. Does that  
mean I have to teach maven (in my settings.xml) to always request  
sources? How?

Thanks for your help!

My understanding is, that you cannot instruct Archiva to download the
corresponding sources automcatically whenever you downlad the binary jar.
Your client (maven running on a developer- or ci-machine) needs to request
the source-artifact explicitly from Archiva. Archiva will then proxy the
request to the remote-repos and pass it by to your client.
Does that help?
