I am using Nexus OSS 2.5.0_04 and we are using Jenkins and Maven to upload and build all our projects. We are able to upload and download to Nexus no problem.
Now I am trying to use Jenkins to deploy the latest snapshot build of our projects. A little background is we have 4 projects with inter-dependencies and at the end of the code building we have an EAR file to deploy as well as a zip file that allows us to deploy all our compiled code and command line tools.
Once all this is build we have a zip, a jar and an ear in our snapshots repo.
I am now trying to use the REST API to download the latest ZIP and EAR file from Nexus. I am able to run:
wget "http://<NEXUS_HOST>/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=snapshots&g=<OUR GROUPID>&a=<ARTIFACT>&v=LATEST"
This works fine but downloads a jar file. I have tried to specify we want the ZIP (and EAR) with:
wget "http://<NEXUS_HOST>/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=snapshots&g=<OUR GROUPID>&a=<ARTIFACT>&v=LATEST&p=zip" (also tried with ear. Also tried with the &e=zip...
Each time this generates a 404. There is definitely artifacts in the repo. I also tried to use the content method:
wget "http://<NEXUS_HOST>/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=snapshots&g=<OUR GROUPID>&a=<ARTIFACT>&v=LATEST&p=zip" --content-disposition
It all 404's. We are using a classifier to give these a proper build number but this doesn't seem to be reflected in the metadata.xml files. When I run the wget I am getting a bad path...
wget "http://<HOST>/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/content?r=snapshots&g=<GROUPID>&a=<ARTIFACT>&v=LATEST&p=zip" --content-disposition

Is there a way I can append this classifier to the request? Can't seem to find it in the docs.
I.E., in this example we want to download ecomm-1.3-20130618.171422-113-b705-deploy-package.zip for example but Nexus wants to hand us ecomm-1.3-20130618.182910-114.zip (which does not exist).
EDIT: Fixed. Figured it out. Have to specify the classifer and extension. I was able to get this to work...
wget "http://<HOST>/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=snapshots&g=<GROUPID>&a=ecomm&v=LATEST&c=b705-deploy-package&e=zip"
I do wish it picked up the classifier from the metadata.xml. I'll have to go through the lucene docs to see if I can search for it somehow.
