SBT Integration

Seamlessly integrate SBT with Sonatype Nexus Repository to resolve software dependencies and deploy your artifacts and build information. This powerful combination allows you to leverage the full capabilities of the world’s most trusted binary repository manager while using SBT’s build tool.

Centralize and Accelerate Your Builds

With SBT and Sonatype Nexus Repository, you can ensure your software components are stored, distributed, and managed in a centralized and secure location. This integration allows you to proxy remote repositories and cache components locally, speeding up your build process and reducing reliance on external repositories.

By configuring Sonatype Nexus Repository as an SBT resolver in your build settings, your project can securely fetch and cache dependencies from your centralized, private repository. Once your build is complete, SBT seamlessly deploys your packaged artifacts and build information directly to Sonatype Nexus Repository, making them instantly available for other projects and team members. You can easily manage your project’s dependencies, both direct and transitive, ensuring that you have full visibility and control over what goes into your software supply chain.

FAQs

What is SBT?

SBT is an open source build tool for Scala and Java projects. It helps automate the process of compiling, testing, and packaging your applications.

What are SBT resolvers?

In SBT, resolvers are what you configure to tell your build where to look for dependencies. You can set up resolvers to point to your Sonatype Nexus Repository, so your project gets its components from a trusted, internal source.

Why should I integrate SBT with Sonatype Nexus Repository?

Integrating SBT with Sonatype Nexus Repository gives you a central place to manage your dependencies and artifacts. This improves security, build performance, and collaboration within your development team.
