Nexus Repository 2 officially sunsetted June 30, 2025. Visit my.sonatype.com for archived documentation. Migrate to Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 as soon as possible.
Developing extensions or clients for Nexus Repository Pro may require access to Sonatype's private Nexus development repository.
Before you begin, you need:
- A valid Nexus Repository Professional license
- Sonatype support account credentials. These are the credentials you use to log in to https://support.sonatype.com and they must be associated with your Sonatype license
What can I access?
Closed source binary/runtime jar and javadoc files will be downloadable, primarily those under a com.sonatype group id. Source jars remain unavailable.
Configure Access to the Sonatype Nexus Private Development Repository
There is a repository that can be added to your Nexus Repository instance that will allow you to create plugins that interact with Nexus Repository Pro or OSS. The repository URL is:
https://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/private-nexus-dev/
Here's what you'll need to do:
- Create a Maven 2 releases proxy repository in your Nexus Repository instance for the above URL. Be sure to put your support account credentials into the "authentication (optional)" part of the proxy repository's configuration - credentials are necessary to access this repository.
- Add this proxy repository to your "public" group repository.
