Unable to get *.tar.gz files from Nexus Repository

Question

I'm tring to install Maven Wrapper and get "Error installing the Maven Wrapper.: Server returned HTTP response code: 401" from my Nexus Repository.

To reproduce the error I can just remove a local cache of Maven Wrapper and try to install it to an empty folder:

rm -R ~/.m2/repository/io/takari/maven-wrapper/0.5.6/
mvn -N io.takari:maven:wrapper -Dmaven=3.8.4

The output:

pom and jar files are downloaded just fine. The problem is with tar.gz file only.

Error 401 is unauthorize error

Did you try to put an autologin config file in your user's home directory already?

Example: /Users/my_username/.netrc

machine nexus.somewhere.com
  login correct_user
  password correct_password

You also need to ensure the account is available and have valid permission to target lib
