[Artifactory-users] artifactory newbie

[Dave H. <DH...@xr...>]

I am trying to setup a maven proxy using artifactory; I have some
experience using proximity but none with artifactory.  What is the
recommended way to fully configure my maven settings.xml & artifactory's
config.xml.  I am having the same issues (plugin repo not found, getting
settings.xml right, etc) that I see in the newsgroups but there is no
posting that says what the fixes are.

I have added the following to my artifactory.config.xml:

<localRepositories>
      <localRepository>
    		<key>local-repo</key>
    		<description>Local releases</description>
    		<handleReleases>true</handleReleases>
    		<handleSnapshots>false</handleSnapshots>
  	</localRepository>
  	<localRepository>
    		<key>local-snapshots</key>
    		<description>Local snapshots</description>
    		<handleReleases>false</handleReleases>
    		<handleSnapshots>true</handleSnapshots>
  	</localRepository>=20
</localRepositories>

Now I need to download artifacts from these plus all the public repos.
I also need to deploy and release to these repos using HTTP protocol.

How do I setup my settings.xml and/or pom.xml to do this?  With my
current attempts I do not get access to plugins.

Thanks!
