Question

I use a kind of continous delivery pipeline. Each CI build gets a unique version (no snapshots) and is installed to local maven repo on CI server. There are few buids daily like 2.1.0-231. Then it goes to QA and UAT. Once a specific version gets approval on UAT i want to publish this specific version to a central Nexus without rebuild.

I know I can do some combination of deploy-file but maybe there is an easier way to do this out of the box?

I don't want to push every build to nexus as a released version. My local CI repo i kind of a staging repo and gests cleaned up automatically.

Which version of Nexus do you use? – khmarbaise Jun 13 '17 at 16:45 — khmarbaise, Jun 13 '17 at 16:45

Rich Seddon & Dan Rollo created good posts about different ways to upload files to Nexus. These guys seem to be from the company Sonatype, so the information should be accurate.
