Requires Python3.10

The idea of this repo is to allow the user to upload the files from a local .m2 folder to a nexus repository.

In it's simplest form, you can upload the full contents of a local .m2 repository

python3 nexus-upload.py .m2/repository --repo-id maven-local --auth admin:$ADMIN_PASS --repo-url https://nexus.example.com

Changes have been made to handle 2 unusual scenarios.

1. A jar dependency exists without a corresponding pom dependency. These will now be uploaded.
2. A jar dependency exists with an arch classifier, example shown below.

netty-resolver-dns-native-macos-4.1.82.Final-osx-x86_64.jar
netty-resolver-dns-native-macos-4.1.82.Final.pom

Note: if both scenarios occur for the sample dependency, there will likely be issues because the code uses the POM filename to identify the classifier.

An additional option to split dependencies is to use the nexus-repository-conversion-tool

The included pom.xml file contains a single dependency which can be downloaded using mvn install This jar can help by splitting local dependencies into separate releases and snapshots folders

Copy the jar to a work folder, from ~/.m2/repository/org/sonatype/nexus/tools/nexus-repository-conversion-tool/2.2.1 and then run

java -jar nexus-repository-conversion-tool-2.2.1-cli.jar -r ~/.m2 -o temp which will produce the following directory structure.

└── temp
    ├── .m2-releases
    └── .m2-snapshots

If you want a clean m2 folder that is limited to just the dependencies of a specific project, you can build the project using the following command, including the -Dmaven.repo.local path

mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=./m2-local

The main nexus-upload.py script was derived from https://gist.github.com/omnisis/9ecae6baf161d19206a5420bddffe1fc and updated for Python3 and Nexus 3.
