maven deploy works with snapshots but 404 for releases

Question

I am trying to deploy to our internal nexus repository. I have configured a maven project where I can do a mvn install and mvn clean deploy. The odd thing is when I remove SNAPSHOT from the version, I get a 404.

Here is my pom.xml that works for SNAPSHOTS:

<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>MavenExample</groupId>
  <artifactId>com.mycompany</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>nexus</id>
      <url>http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-releases/</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
      <id>nexus</id>
      <url>http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-snapshots/</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
  </distributionManagement>

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.sonatype.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>nexus-staging-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.3</version>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
        <configuration>
          <serverId>nexus</serverId>
          <nexusUrl>http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-releases/</nexusUrl>
          <!-- update this to the correct id! -->
          <stagingProfileId>myid</stagingProfileId>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

When I change <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> to <version>1.0</version>

I Get this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-staging-maven-plugin:1.6.3:deploy (injected-nexus-deploy) on project explicit-staging-example: Execution injected-nexus-deploy of goal org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-staging-maven-plugin:1.6.3:deploy failed: Nexus connection problem to URL [http://nexus.mycompany.com:8000/repository/maven-releases/ ]: 404 - Not Found -> [Help 1]

They are both available in nexus:

I have tried adding different plugins but no luck. I'm not a maven expert so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are you using the community edition of Nexus? I don't think it supports staging. — Steve C, May 04 '17 at 00:24
Yes, but I don't believe the OSS version supports staging, and you're failing while trying to execute the `nexus-staging-maven-plugin`. — Steve C, May 04 '17 at 13:10

When I used Steve C's answer, maven just stopped deploying. I instead passed -DskipStaging=true, as documented here. This allowed me to keep using the nexus-staging-maven-plugin, just without the staging capability.

You are not able to deploy staged releases because you're using the community edition of Nexus right now, and it does not support this functionality.

For now you need to remove the nexus-staging-maven-plugin configuration from your pom.xml and the regular

mvn clean deploy

will "just work" (but without staging).

I encountered the same issue and this one works for me.

mvn clean install deploy -DskipStaging=true
