  • 0

I’ve been working through the Nexus guide this weekend and I’ve got everything set up, to the point that I can publish a snapshot to my local nexus install.

I can’t seem to work out how to get m2eclipse to see the snapshot and offer it as an option in the Add Dependencies search panel. How do I do that? Thanks!

In case it’s of any use, my settings.xml is as follows:

    I have the answer now. you have to set up nexus to publish the index. http://www.sonatype.com/people/2009/09/nexus-scheduled-tasks …Set up the schedule task to publish the index for clients like m2eclipse. But you must wait until WAITING status appears at the scheduled task section in nexus. After eclipse restart it must work. Regards, Jakub

    BTW: your proxied repositories must have “Download Remote Indexes – true” and nexus must be able to search through remote indexes… but I supposed you know that
