How to force Sonatype Nexus Regenerate / Reindex its Metadata?
Pilgrim, Peter
Hi
Does anyone reliably know to force Nexus Open Source (v1.4.0) to update its meta-data?
I have been copying dependencies from local ~/.m2/repository to a remote server running Nexus. I do this by hand or using a script because there a lot more artefacts to move over.
The combination of mouse click on the Web UI
- Goto “view/repos” on the right hand pane, then click on “Repositories” and then
- Right click on the target repository, select Expire Cache
- Right click on the target repository, select Reindex
- Right click on the target repository, select Metadata
The repo manager just does not update the metadata or seem to recognise that I copied over
Weblogic-server/weblogic/10.0.3/*.{jar|pom}
And consequently build systems fails. Any ideas appreciated? Ta

I figured it out.
Nexus 1.4.0 comes a new Incremental Reindex and Rebuild Metadata.
Goto the “views/repositories” and then click on the “Repositories” link.
Under the repository detail on the central pane, you will see “browse storage” , “browse index”, “config” etc.
Clik on “Browse Index” , use the search to find the parent of the dependencies that you want to force regeneration on.
For instance I had missing
[INFO] Unable to find resource 'org.apache.maven.surefire:surefire-providers:pom:2.4.3' in repository central (http://ltsbci:8080/nexus/content/groups/public-all)
So I navigated to “org/apache/maven/surefire/” in order to force partial regeneration of the repo.
On that node I selected in this special order the commands, one by one: “Expire Cache”, “Incremental ReIndex” and then “Rebuild Metadata”. The last item is the most important.
(You will notice in the Nexus logs the merging of the metadata going up the tree to virtual repos (groups))

I don't have any experience with Nexus so, I'm basically replaying his words, more or less:
Artifactory employs JCR in order to keep the repository coherent because JCR is transactional, whilst Nexus keeps the repository in the file system, which is more flexible when you are employing other tools in order to copy stuff from one repository to another. Seems like this is another flame war! :)
