I'm developing my own hudson plugin and can not find a really comprehensive documentation.
How can I connect to the artifactory plugin to get a list of artifacts? The artifactory plugin is installed in hudson but I don't know how to instance it/connect to it from my own plugin.
My plugin deploys a specific version to our webstart server. This includes downloading the artifact from artifactory over HTTP, creating version.xml and *.jnlp file and uploading these three files to the webserver using SCP. For the configuration of this plugin, I need a list of all versions of a specific project from artifactory.
Thanks in advance.
If you'd like to use model and utility classes of another plugin, then it's simply a process of depending on that plugin (compile-wise) and making sure that the dependent plugin is installed so you can reference these classes at runtime.
If you'd like to use entities like builders, actions or wrappers, you'll probably need to use Hudson's facilities; I'm not so sure as to which facilities it has, but Jenkins' hudson.model.AbstractBuild and hudson.model.AbstractProject (and other) objects have methods like:
hudson.model.Actionable#getActions
AbstractProject#getPublishersList
That'll return those entities (assuming they're configured on the project in question).
Apart from that approach, there are a number of ways to solve your issue using Artifactory's REST API:
If the artifacts are contained in Artifactory within one location that's known to you, you can execute a file list query to reveal the contents of that directory.
If you'd like to fetch the produced artifacts of a specific Hudson build, and assuming that you use the Hudson plugin to deploy Build Info, you can request the Build Info object using the Build Info resource; utilizing the checksums of the produced artifacts listed in this object, you can perform artifact checksum queries to find out if and where these artifacts exist in Artifactory.
If you don't know the specific build name and number or the location, you can use any of the search facilities to locate artifacts based on different details; The GAVC or XPath searchers are most likely to help in your situation.

I just recently used Github, and when I was trying to upload my java project I realized that I was using some external libraries like apahce poi in this project, and these files have to be stored in libs for my application to function, do I need to upload these files because I realize that might violate some issues(maybe ?).
If yes, then what is the correct way to upload or maybe just post a link to those dependency
Use a tool that provides a dependency management system such as Maven or Gradle (these are both common choices in the Java ecosystem). Your project will then include a configuration file that Maven or Gradle will use to download dependencies so you don't need to distribute them with your project.
I am writing a scala client that should perform several reads from maven remote repository (dependency tree evaluation).
To perform e2e tests to my code I need a running maven repository (artifactory, nexus, archiva etc...) with several artifacts deployed.
I am looking for a way I can use test utility that will allow me to start embedded server with code configured artifacts and dependency relationship. That way I can set it up just before my test, use it and stop it.
If possible - I want to avoid using filesystem
Of course - that library can be either scala or java
There is a MockRepositoryServer in the Mojohaus project run by the Maven committers and others that does what you need. It is specifically designed for that exact testing purpose.
You can also use a full blown Nexus Repository Manager in a local install. Either will work.
Today, my team has a handful of projects which are frequently 'published' for production usage. We are using JFrog's hosted Artifactory solution to host our binaries, but are running into a problem when project publish both jars and assembly files.
From speaking to someone at JFrog, they said the following.
Artifactory expects the deployment to be in the following order (as done by Maven):
jar
pom
classifiers
I suspect that since you are deploying the files on a different order, Artifactory fails to calculate the unique snapshot.
However, there is a way to make it work:
For each artifact add the ‘build.timestamp’ HTTP matrix param with the current time in milliseconds. Note that all of the artifacts from the same build should have the same timestamp value.
For example:
http://myaccount.artifactoryonline.com/myaccunt/libs-snapshots-local/com/artifact-SNAPSHOT.jar;build.timestamp=1375140480339
Two questions out of this: is SBT really publishing in a different order and if so how do I change the publish url to include this build.timestamp?
sbt doesn't publish in a defined order. I don't think there is a way to put a timesamp in the published URL, so the best option is to implement an order in sbt itself.

I have moved to Maven recently, and since it works fine for resources up to date in some repositories, it's not obvious for non-maven ones.
I have something very simple to achieve (in the idea), but that I am unable to express so far:
I need to compile my code with a jar that can be found here:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/view/WTP/job/cbi-wtp-wst.xsl.psychopath/ws/sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor/target/
What do I have to put in my pom.xml to make Maven downloading the .jar + the java source + the javadoc, and eventually the other dependencies (actually IBM ICU, Xerces, JavaCup) that are mentionned in the supplied MANIFEST ?
I have read lots of documents, including those with a plugin called Tycho, but nothing helpfull for that simple task.
Thanks for your help.
Maven only works well if all artifacts needed for a build are contained in the local or a configured remote repository. So you have to do the following jobs:
Find out if eclipse plugins are deployed in a Maven2-style repository, and what the URL of that repository is.
Then find out which version of that plugin (artifact) you need.
Maven allows you to configure what will be copied locally: jar file, sources and api doc if you want to.
Maven should then be responsible to download as well all needed artifacts for the plugin you want to use.
After looking at the contents of the URL you gave us (especially the file p2content.xml), it looks like there should be a repository. I searched for the maven repository for org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2 and found the URL http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/content/repositories/testing/org/eclipse/wst/org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2/1.1.0/org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2-1.1.0.pom
So the repository you are searching for is located at http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus. Just open it, search for example for xpath2, and Nexus, the repository software used there will you show the available artifacts. Depending on what was deployed to that repository, it may contain only the library, or have even sources and JavaDoc bundled with it. For the example above (xpath2), there seems to be only the POM itself and the library (the jar). If you take as example junit, you will find all versions and variants, even with sources.jar and javadoc.jar.
After you have found the needed artifact, you can include it in the dependency section of your POM. And you have to add http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus as a remote repository in the configuration of your Maven installation.
The question and its answer Get source JARs from Maven repository explain how to fetch sources and JavaDoc (if they are available).
You need a maven repository which contains this artifacts (i don't know, if Eclipse hosts a repository for their projects). You can also deploy manually the artifacts to a local repository on your computer.
I'm evaluating Maven 3 at work. For several example projects I have to deploy them to a server (no repository), but that's not the problem.
In my current example-project I'm trying to upload only the "jar-with-dependencies".
and exactly that's my problem.
It all works fine, except that the main-artifact AND the jar-with-dependencies (created by the assembly-plugin) are uploaded.
How do I prevent Maven or rather the deploy-phase from uploading the main-jar and only upload a given or specified file (in this case, the assembly-file "jar-with-dependencies")?
Referring to the question Only create executable jar-with-dependencies in Maven, I can't just alter the packaging-setting to pom, because it will also prevent the assembly-plugin from adding my classes to the JAR file. It only creates a JAR file with the files of the dependencies.
I hope I'm clear about my problem, and you can help me ;)
if you just looking how to add a file to be deployed you can take a look here:

May be this helps. If not express your needs more in detail.
There seems to be no way to configure the deploy plugin to filter out some of the artifacts from a project and selectively deploy the others. Faced with a similar problem, we solved this with the ease-maven-plugin. It fit well into our release process but might not be the right choice for everyone as it mandates a two-step approach. During the build you would make a list of all artifacts and filter out those that you want deployed. In a second step, you then run mvn deploy on a separate project (or separate profile) in which the list of artifacts is attached to the project as the only artifacts which then get deployed. See the examples in the source code of the ease maven plugin to better understand how it works.
The original version is not able to filter out specific artifacts of a project. I have forked the project and added patches that add this.
