Artifactory (Maven) - HeroDevs Never-Ending Support

This guide describes how to add the HeroDevs NES Maven Repository to a JFrog Artifactory instance.

Create a Remote Repository for our private Maven repo
Configure an existing (or create a new) Virtual Repository
Verify your access

Create a Maven Remote Repository

Under Administration, navigate to Repositories > and select Remote
Select Create a Repository > Remote > Maven
Configure the following on the Basic tab
1. Note: See here for documentation on basic settings for Remote Repositories

Basic Settings

"Step 1 Basic"

Repository Key: nes (or whatever alias your team prefers)
URL: https://registry.nes.herodevs.com/maven
Username: artifactory
Password: <your NES access token>
Include Patterns:
1. Click the x to delete the default **/* pattern
2. Add com/herodevs/nes/**
Remote Mapping Layout: maven-2-default

Select Test to verify your token access.

Advanced Settings

Configure the following on the Advanced tab:

"Step 1 Advanced"

Ensure Bypass HEAD Requests is checked
Ensure Disable URL Normalization is checked

Configure a Virtual Repository

This step will provide configuration details to configure an Artifactory virtual repository used to access artifacts in Maven and Gradle projects.

Assumptions:

A Maven repository has been configured to access our NES Maven repository keyed as nes. (see Step 1)

If you already have a Virtual Repository configured with Maven Central (and potentially other sources) you can skip the following steps.

Under Administration, navigate to Repositories > and select Virtual
Select Create a Repository > Virtual > Maven
- This sample keys the virtual repository with the name maven-default.

Whether creating or editing a new Virtual Repository, add nes-maven to the list of Selected Repositories.

Sample

"Virtual Maven Repository"

Verify Setup

Assuming your Virtual Repository was keyed as maven-default, and that you have a valid Artifactory token, configure your Maven settings or Gradle properties accordingly.

Maven (~/.m2/settings.xml)

Gradle (~/.gradle/gradle.properties)
