Hi,
we are trying to find a way to use build artefacts residing on a file share for Maven builds without deploying them into a Maven repository.
Of course these build artefacts can be directly deployed into an existing Maven repository. However for technical reasons like the amount of data and continuous rebuilds we think it is better to omit the deploy step and provide (direct) access to the share as a virtual repository.
Therefore our current approach is to write a Nexus plugin that allows adding the file share as a virtual repository into Nexus.
In order to give a proof of this concept we are looking for information that explains how to write a Nexus plugin.
So far we haven’t found comprehensive documentation about this topic.
Could you please point us to information that we can take as starting point for Nexus plugin development?
Regards,
Rainer
