source: http://www.vineetmanohar.com/2010/06/getting-started-with-nexus-maven-repo-manager/

1. configure settings.xml
2. navigate to C:\tools\apache-maven-3.3.9\conf and open settings.xml
3. add a server in the server section of this file

    <!-- Nexus Repository Manager -->
    <server>
        <id>NexusRepoManager</id>
        <username>deployment</username>
        <password>admin</password>
    </server>

4. configure the pom.xml of the AccountStatusWebservice
5. navigate to AccountStatusWebservice and open pom.xml
6. add distribution management and repositories to the pom file

    <distributionManagement>  
        <!-- Publish the versioned releases here -->  
        <repository>  
            <id>NexusRepoManager</id>  
            <name>Continuous Delivery Blog Nexus Releases</name>  
            <url>https://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases</url>  
        </repository>  

        <!-- Publish the versioned snapshots here -->  
        <snapshotRepository>  
            <id>NexusRepoManager</id>  
            <name>Continuous Delivery Blog Nexus Snapshots</name>  
            <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots</url>  
        </snapshotRepository>  
    </distributionManagement>

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>NexusRepoManager</id>
            <name>Continuous Delivery Blog Nexus</name>
            <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
            <releases>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </releases>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </snapshots>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

7. next we need to add the maven-deploy-plugin to the develop profile

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.8.2</version>
    </plugin>

test configuration

1. test the configuration by entering the next commands
2. build project and deploy it to the local repo: mvn clean install
3. build project and deploy it to the nexus repo: mvn clean deploy -Pdevelop
4. navigate to http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/nl/com/devnl/AccountStatusWebservice/1.0-SNAPSHOT/
5. and check if there is a war file [IMG]
