Retrieving dependencies from maven nexus repo which requires authentication

[chilang]

Hi,

I have an internal Maven/Nexus repo which requires authentication
(basic http username/password) to retrieve dependencies from.
Is there a way to specify this with SBT ?

Thanks in advance,
Chi Lang

I don't remember trying this specifically, but I think it should be the same as
specifying credentials for publishing [1].

chilang,

Did this work for you? I'm running into a similar issue but I'm not
sure if it's because I require a non standard (not 80) port number.

Hi,

I have something like the following in my Project class and it works:

Credentials.add("My Nexus", "nexus-server", "username", "password")
override def repositories = Set("my-nexus" at "http://nexus-server:
8081/nexus/content/groups/public")

What if your password is encrypted using Maven's password encryption and tucked away in ~/.m2/settings.xml, and you want sbt to reuse that? It would be a non-starter at my company to have to store credentials in the build.sbt of each of our projects.
