2.2. Install Maven and the JBoss Maven Repository
2.2.1. Download and Install Maven
If you plan to use Maven command line to build and deploy your applications to JBoss EAP, you must download and install Maven. If you plan to use Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio to build and deploy your applications, you can skip this procedure as Maven is distributed with Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio.
- Go to Apache Maven Project - Download Maven and download the latest distribution for your operating system.
- See the Maven documentation for information on how to download and install Apache Maven for your operating system.
2.2.2. Install the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository
There are three ways to install the repository; on your local file system, on Apache Web Server, or with a Maven repository manager.
2.2.3. Install the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository Locally
Summary
The JBoss EAP 6 Maven repository is available online, so it is not necessary to download and install it locally. However, if you prefer to install the JBoss EAP Maven repository locally, there are three ways to do it: on your local file system, on Apache Web Server, or with a Maven repository manager. This example covers the steps to download the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository to the local file system. This option is easy to configure and allows you to get up and running quickly on your local machine. It can help you become familiar with using Maven for development but is not recommended for team production environments.
Procedure 2.1. Download and Install the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository to the Local File System
- Open a web browser and access this URL: https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/listSoftware.html?product=appplatform.
- Find "Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform VERSION Maven Repository" in the list.
- Click the button to download a
.zipfile containing the repository. - Unzip the file on the local file system into a directory of your choosing.
Result
This creates a Maven repository directory called jboss-eap-version-maven-repository.
Important
If you want to continue to use an older local repository, you must configure it separately in the Maven
settings.xml configuration file. Each local repository must be configured within its own <repository> tag.
Important
When downloading a new Maven repository, remove the cached
repository/ subdirectory located under the .m2/directory before attempting to use the new Maven repository.
2.2.4. Install the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository for Use with Apache httpd
There are three ways to install the repository; on your local file system, on Apache Web Server, or with a Maven repository manager. This example will cover the steps to download the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository for use with Apache httpd. This option is good for multi-user and cross-team development environments because any developer that can access the web server can also access the Maven repository.
Prerequisites
You must configure Apache httpd. See Apache HTTP Server Project documentation for instructions.
Procedure 2.2. Download the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository ZIP archive
- Open a web browser and access this URL: https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/listSoftware.html?product=appplatform.
- Find "Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform <VERSION> Maven Repository" in the list.
- Click the button to download a
.zipfile containing the repository. - Unzip the files in a directory that is web accessible on the Apache server.
- Configure Apache to allow read access and directory browsing in the created directory.
Result
This allows a multi-user environment to access the Maven repository on Apache httpd.
Note
If you're upgrading from a previous version of the repository, note that JBoss EAP Maven Repository artifacts can be extracted into an existing JBoss product Maven repository (such as JBoss EAP 6.1.0) without any conflicts. After the repository archive has been extracted, the artifacts can be used with the existing Maven settings for this repository.
2.2.5. Install the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository Using Nexus Maven Repository Manager
There are three ways to install the repository; on your local file system, on Apache Web Server, or with a Maven repository manager. This option is best if you have a license and already use a repository manager because you can host the JBoss repository alongside your existing repositories. For more information about Maven repository managers, see Section 2.2.6, “About Maven Repository Managers”.
This example will cover the steps to install the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository using Sonatype Nexus Maven Repository Manager. For more complete instructions, see Sonatype Nexus: Manage Artifacts.
Procedure 2.3. Download the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository ZIP archive
- Open a web browser and access this URL: https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/listSoftware.html?product=appplatform.
- Find "Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform <VERSION> Maven Repository" in the list.
- Click the button to download a
.zipfile containing the repository. - Unzip the files into a directory of your choosing on the server hosting Nexus.
Procedure 2.4. Add the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository using Nexus Maven Repository Manager
- Log into Nexus as an Administrator.
- Select the Repositories section from the
menu to the left of your repository manager. - Click the Add... dropdown, then select Hosted Repository.
- Give the new repository a name and ID.
- Enter the path on disk to the unzipped repository in the field Override Local Storage Location.
- Continue if you want the artifact to be available in a repository group. Do not continue with this procedure if this is not what you want.
- Select the repository group.
- Click on the Configure tab.
- Drag the new JBoss Maven repository from the Available Repositories list to the Ordered Group Repositories list on the left.
Note
Note that the order of this list determines the priority for searching Maven artifacts.
Result
The repository is configured using Nexus Maven Repository Manager.
2.2.6. About Maven Repository Managers
A repository manager is a tool that allows you to easily manage Maven repositories. Repository managers are useful in multiple ways:
For more information about Maven repository managers, see Apache Maven Project - The List of Repository Managers.
- They provide the ability to configure proxies between your organization and remote Maven repositories. This provides a number of benefits, including faster and more efficient deployments and a better level of control over what is downloaded by Maven.
- They provide deployment destinations for your own generated artifacts, allowing collaboration between different development teams across an organization.
Commonly used Maven repository managers
- Sonatype Nexus
- See Sonatype Nexus: Manage Artifacts for more information about Nexus.
- Artifactory
- See Artifactory Open Source for more information about Artifactory.
- Apache Archiva
- See Apache Archiva: The Build Artifact Repository Manager for more information about Apache Archiva.
