Using a Maven Repository from Nexus as Gradle Plugins repo

Help/Discuss

Hi,

I would like to use my private Nexus repo as the repo for resolving Gradle Plugins. I have added the relevant configuration in settings.gradle file of my project:

pluginManagement {
repositories {
maven {
name ‘myGradleRepo’
url ‘http://some-url/my-private-repo’
}
}
}

The gradle build tries to connect to the correct URL as configured above. However, none of the plugin artifacts uploaded into the Nexus repo are resolving.
For example, I uploaded an artifact: Gradle - Plugin: com.github.ben-manes.versions with below parameters;

groupId: com.github.ben-manes
artifactId: gradle-versions-plugin
version: 0.20.0

To summarize, in short, how do I setup a Nexus repo to be used as Gradle Plugins Portal/Repo in an environment where there is no internet connectivity?

  1. How are you applying the plugin?
apply plugin: ...

or

plugins {
    id ...
}

  1. What is the error you see?
  2. If the error includes URLs tried by Gradle, does any of those seem like they should work, but they don’t?
