How to Configure a Nexus Proxy Repository for JBoss Maven Artifacts
This guide explains Nexus repository types—Hosted, Proxy, and Group—and provides step‑by‑step instructions with screenshots for adding a JBoss public proxy repository to Nexus so Maven can retrieve JBoss artifacts efficiently.
Types of Nexus Repositories
1. Hosted Repository – a local repository stored on the Nexus server’s disk, containing JAR and POM files.
2. Proxy Repository – a remote repository that caches artifacts from external public repositories; the first request downloads the artifact to Nexus, and subsequent requests are served locally.
3. Repository Group – a virtual repository that aggregates multiple repositories (e.g., A, B) into a single URL for Maven configuration.
Adding a JBoss Proxy Repository in Nexus
By default Maven uses the central repository http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/. To add the JBoss public repository:
Open the Nexus UI, click Repositories on the left, then click Add and select Proxy Repository .
Fill in the fields as shown:
Save the configuration; Maven can now resolve artifacts from the JBoss repository via the new proxy.
