maven-init: Invalid Nexus URL and/or authentication

[Domenico Cianniello (via Magnolia Forums)]

Hello All,
I'm setting up the environment for the CE edition as reported on the Magnolia academy, but while I was initializing Maven, I got an error during Nexus authentication.

I have executed the following command
[b]mvn org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-maven-plugin:1.9.2.4:settings-download -Dnexus.url=http://nexus.magnolia-cms.com -Dsettings.templateId=magnolia-community-public
[/b]
as reported on the page: [url=http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Maven+init]http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Maven+init[/url].

I have used the following credentials anonymous/anonymous (the same reported for the community edition into the page), but I got the following error:
[INFO] Invalid Nexus URL and/or authentication for: http://nexus.magnolia-cms.com (user: anonymous)

could you please help me?
I don't know how to resolve this issue. I'm using maven 2.2.1.
thanks a lot
Mimmo

Hi Domenico,

Great that you are taking the Maven route, as this is precisely what we expect a professional dev. to do. Can you provide us with more detailed information?

Also, what system are you working on? (Windows, Linux, Mac)

In meantime, see also: http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Maven+enviroment+variables

Your feedback on how you get on with Maven will be much appreciated. Please keep us informed of any errors, where and how they occur. Likewise, let us know of a successful outcome.

Thanks,

Gavan

Hi Gavan,
please read below:

OS: Windows 7
Java version: 1.7
JAVA_HOME: C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_45
JRE_HOME: C:\Java\jre7
M2_HOME: D:\j-frameworks\apache-maven-2.2.1
M2: not set
PATH: D:\j-frameworks\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin;D:\j-frameworks\apache-tomcat-7.0.50\bin;C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;...

by the way, I have bypassed that issue modifying manually the ./m2/settings.xml as reported below
I have accessed to the following link "[url]http://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/index.html#m2-settings-templates;magnolia-community-public[/url]" and I have added what necessary to my file.

Guys - ensure you are using

https://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/content/repositories/magnolia.public.releases/

http will not work.

Check the logs:

Michela _is_ using https on 4 of her 5 attempts, if I'm reading this correctly. The exact command works fine on my mac with anonymous/anonymous, so the only thing I can think of is it's a windows-specific problem (can't try this right now unfortunately), or perhaps a Maven version mismatch ? Michela, could you ensure you're using 2.2.1 and paste the output of the [code]mvn -version[/code] command ?

If you're using Maven 3 (I'd recommend the very latest 3.2.3), the command is slightly different: [code]mvn org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-m2settings-maven-plugin:1.6.5:download -DnexusUrl=https://nexus.magnolia-cms.com -DtemplateId=magnolia-community-public[/code]

That said, you don't _need_ any of this to get started, especially if you unless public artifacts; just add the <repository> to your pom.xml !
