Updates to Nexus Chapter: Services, security, and more

There's been a new release of Sonatype Nexus Repository version 1.0.0-beta-4.

We've also updated the Nexus chapter in the online version of the book to coincide with this release. Changes include a post-install checklist, scheduled services, and coverage of other new features. Including...

  • A Post-install Checklist: Run through this post-install checklist to make sure that your proxied repositories are downloading the remote indexes.

  • Scheduled Services: Nexus now has support for scheduled services which can run on arbitrary schedules. These services are used for such things as publishing indexes or clearing caches.

  • Expanded Coverage of Using Nexus: Browsing Repositories, Groups, and searching for Artifacts.

  • A section on the System Feeds: Nexus publishes a set of RSS feeds which track system events.

  • Reading Nexus logs and configuration files from the Nexus UI.

  • Instructions for using the new deployment user to conduct secure deployments to hosted repositories.

  • Modifying your Maven settings to work with the deployment user security.
