SBT ignore repository proxy for ivy plugins

Question

I've tried to follow the explanation to proxy ivy and sbt artifacts http://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Proxy-Repositories.html

Nevertheless, it looks like SBT just ignores my settings, This is my environemnt:

Nexus 3.7.1 Several SBT versions (0.13.15 , 0.13.16, 1.0.0, 1.1.0) Several maven repositories which include the recommended repositories in the link that I've stated above.

Above these reposiroties I've 2 groups:

maven-public
ivy-public

which contain respectively the proper repositories (ivy to ivy, maven to maven)

I've created a settings file under ~/.sbt/repositories

[repositories]
  local
  mvn-repositories: https://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8443/repository/maven-public/
  ivy-proxy-releases: https://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8443/repository/ivy-public/, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]

And thats is, at this stage I expect to see sbt resolving artifacts via my nexus repository but I can see that it does not - here is a short snippet that shows that sbt-assembly didn't been grabbed from my nexus (fourth row):

I've tried several SBT versions, none did the job - I guess that I'm doing something wrong.

Help would be highly appreciated. Thanks !

After hitting the wall for several days now, I've just solved it - it's all about nexus.

When you create your repository proxy, you MUST set the proxy layout policy to permissive, otherwise on restrict mode it won't accept the non-maven structure.

Don't forget to run your sbt with -Dsbt.override.build.repos=true
