Nexus is a repository manager, developed by SonaType, designed to store artifacts and cache remote repositories while providing universal package support.
This plug-in integrates with Nexus to retrieve artifacts hosted in a Maven repository using HCL DevOps Deploy’s import mechanism.
The Nexus Repository Manager V3 plug-in provides steps to integration Deploy with Nexus Repository Manager V3.
This plug-in includes the following step:
The Nexus Repository Manager V3 plug-in is compatible with Nexus Repository manager versions 3.0 and up. This plug-in was written against the Nexus Repository Manager V3 REST API, and will not work with V2. For Nexus Repository Manager V2 support, please see the Nexus Source Config Plugin.
This plug-in runs on all operating systems that Deploy supports.
See Installing plug-ins in HCL Deploy for installing and removing plug-ins.
For Raw Repos this version of plug-in will create different version for different kind of applications.
For Example, if we have 2 applications, a java one and a python one in in a “Raw” format repo in Nexus, as shown below: com └─── example ├─── my-java-app1.0 │ └─── my-java-app-1.0.jar └─── my-python-app1.0 └─── sample1.py
This version of Plug-in will create 2 different versions named as “my-java-app1.0” and “my-python-app1.0” with their respective artefacts.
The previous version of the plug-in doesn’t support this feature and creates version with name of the 1st level folder(here “com”) which is fixed in this.

The Nexus Repository Manager (NRM) V3 plug-in utilizes the Search API of NRM V3.
The plug-in supports any NRM server of version 3 or greater. However, depending on your server version you may either be accessing the Siesta REST API, the BETA REST API, or the fully supported V1 REST API.
There are a couple of things to note about the various REST APIs of NRM V3:
Creates a new component version and imports artifacts from Nexus.
This step has no input properties.
The plug-in adds these roles automatically to resources. You cannot add these roles manually.
This step runs a groovy script.
