Question

In eclipse, the m2eclipse plugin will prompt me for my credentials when I’m building a maven2 project. And it compiles fine.

But if I now try to run “mvn install” from the command line, I get an artifact not found error. How do I add the username/password into my pom.xml in order to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Which username password you talking about? If its the username defined in nexus repository then you can define in settings.xml where you defined the nexus repository.

<servers>
  <server>
    <id>releases</id>
    <username>xxxxxxxxx</username>
    <password>yyyyyyyy</password>
  </server>
</servers>
