Sbt - Specify dependency extension - scala

Question

i have troubles with Sbt.
In my local instance of JFrog Artifactory i have published a java library without the .pom file, so i have just the .jar file.
Configuration:
//build.sbt
libraryDependencies += "com.example" % "my-library" % "1.0" % "provided"
//build.properties
sbt.version = 1.3.0-RC2
Obliviously i have configured the resolvers properly.
Sbt fails with the following error:
not found: http://[Artifactory]/artifactory/maven/com/example/my-library/1.0/my-library-1.0.pom
The error is clear, indeed .pom file doesn't exists.
There is a way to specify, for a specific dependency, the extension ?

Answer 1

If for whatever reason you published the jar without a pom file on purpose, you can specify an explicit URL for the jar you want to depend on, e.g.
libraryDependencies += "slinky" % "slinky" % "2.1"
from "https://slinky2.googlecode.com/svn/artifacts/2.1/slinky.jar"
But if you just published the library ivy-style (so an ivy.xml file was published instead of a pom file), you just need to specify a right resolver for your repository, which will have ivy-style patterns.

Answer 2

When publishMavenStyle is true, a POM is generated by the makePom action and published to the repository.
Add this line in your build.sbt
publishMavenStyle := true
Configuring Artifact Resolution
To resolve artifacts through Artifactory, simply add the following code snippet to your build.sbt file:
resolvers += "Artifactory" at "http://<host>:<port>/artifactory/<repo-key>/"
Deploying Artifacts
To deploy sbt build artifacts to repositories in Artifactory, add the following code snippets to your build.sbt file.
For releases, add:
publishTo := Some("Artifactory Realm" at "http://<host>:<port>/artifactory/<repo-key>")
credentials += Credentials("Artifactory Realm", "<host>", "<USERNAME>", "<PASS>")
For snapshots, add:
publishTo := Some("Artifactory Realm" at "http://<host>:<port>/artifactory/<repo-key>;build.timestamp=" + new java.util.Date().getTime)
credentials += Credentials("Artifactory Realm", "<host>", "<USERNAME>", "<PASS>")
Where host and port are the host URL and port on which Artifactory is running, and repo-key is the Artifactory repository to which you are deploying artifacts.
