Create index files with Artifactory?

[kg007]

Hi,

i have just installed Artifactory and configred a virtual repository which hides several other repositories. I use the M2Eclipse plugin to develop projects inside of Eclipse. The plugin downloads the ...index.zip file from the hided http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 repository and gives the developer the ability to search for a artifact.

Is it possible to create such an index file for my private-internal-repository?

I found a tool called nexus-indexer. But it seems that this tool can only be used to build indexes from file based repository systems. Artifacory is a db based repository isnt it?

regards
Karsten

I filed an enhancement request to artifactory to add the m2eclipse indexer functionality to artifactory yesterday http://www.jfrog.org/jira/browse/RTFACT-390

Until then you should be able to create the index 'by hand' by running the Nexus indexer against the artifactory backup directories, the problem is getting the index persisted in the correct location 'within' artifactory. IE <repourl>/.index/ nexus-maven-repository-index.zip

I haven't tested this out yet to see if it is possible with artifactory directly, or if it would need to be done by adding appropriate JCR items using the artifactory code.

That said, the indexes _can_ be put in another location, eg on another 'normal' web server, and the m2eclipse can be directed to use that location for the indexes. Thus it would be possible  use the manually created indexes, just a pain to maintain.
