I have the build definition which does Maven build. after the build I upload artifacts to nexus repository using nexus artifacts upload plugin.

From release definition is there any way to download the artifacts from nexus for my deployment?

If you are using nexus 2.x, you can use the REST API to download artifacts from nexus repo:

wget "http://local:8081/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?g=com.mycompany&a=my-app&v=LATEST" --content-disposition

or

curl --insecure "https://local:8081/service/local/artifact/maven/content?r=public&g=log4j&a=log4j&v=1.2.17&p=jar&c=" > log4j.ja

If you are using nexus 3.x, you can use below ways to download artifacts from nexus repo:

  • Option 1: Use maven command

    mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.0.1:copy -Dartifact=log4j:log4j:1.2.17:jar -DoutputDirectory=./

  • Option 2: use wget with bash script to download:

    #!/bin/sh

repo="https://nexus.url.com"
groupId=$1
artifactId=$2
version=$3

# optional
classifier=$4
type=$5

if [[ $type == "" ]]; then
  type="jar"
fi
if [[ $classifier != "" ]]; then
  classifier="-${classifier}"
fi

groupIdUrl="${groupId//.//}"
filename="${artifactId}-${version}${classifier}.${type}"

if [[ ${version} == *"SNAPSHOT"* ]]; then repo_type="snapshots"; else repo_type="releases"; fi

if [[ $repo_type == "releases" ]]
 then
   wget --no-check-certificate "${repo}/repository/releases/${groupIdUrl}/${artifactId}/${version}/${artifactId}-${version}${classifier}.${type}" -O ${filename} -k
 else
   versionTimestamped=$(wget -q -O- --no-check-certificate "${repo}/repository/snapshots/${groupIdUrl}/${artifactId}/${version}/maven-metadata.xml" | grep -m 1 \<value\> | sed -e 's/<value>\(.*\)<\/value>/\1/' | sed -e 's/ //g')

   wget --no-check-certificate "${repo}/repository/snapshots/${groupIdUrl}/${artifactId}/${version}/${artifactId}-${versionTimestamped}${classifier}.${type}" -O ${filename}
 fi

usage
 script.sh groupid artifactid version classifier type
 ex:
 script.sh log4j log4j 4.2.18 sources zip 
 script.sh log4j log4j 4.2.19  -> get jar as default
 script.sh log4j log4j 4.2.19-SNAPSHOT  -> get jar as default
