I'm new to Artifactory. I'm trying to understand better how the remote repository cache mechanism works.

Right know I have 3 imported remote repositories at the system:

  1. google-code-cache.

  2. java.net-cache.

  3. jcenter-cache.

At the first two (google and java), After I'm entering to the remote url and downloading an artifact it seems to be saved at the repository-cache.

At jcenter that doesn't work. even if I'm downloading a file the file doesn't goes to the cache.

Can anyone help me understand better the logic behind the cache mechanism - when does it save the artifacts at the cache and when it's don't?

Thanks, Nadav

  • Have you managed downloading file via the JCenter remote repo? which URL did you use when trying to download? did you see any errors in the artifactory.log? – Dror Bereznitsky May 03 '15 at 09:09

First of all, with JCenter you don't need the other repositories. You'll be able to retrieve all the artifacts from java.net and google-code directly from jcenter.

Second, the easiest way to configure remote repositories is using the configuration import functionality. Just click on the Import button. The default server to import from will be repo.jfrog.org, which is a good choice, since it has a lot of remote repos to choose. Select 'jcenter' from the list of the proposed repositories and it will be added to your Artifactory and configured correctly.
