Plugin Information

Plugin ID	artifactory
Latest Release	2.1.3-h-2
Latest Release Date	Sep 24, 2012
Sources	Github
Support	Eclipse Hudson Forum
Issue Tracking	Eclipse Bugzilla

This plugin allows deploying Maven 2, Maven 3, Ivy and Gradle artifacts and build info to the Artifactory artifacts manager.

Reporting Issues
Issues for this plugin are managed primarily on the plugin's project under the JFrog JIRA.
Managing independent release versions and having sub-components for each build technology requires the plugin to be a first-level JIRA project, which is currently not possible under the Hudson-provided JIRA.

Introduction

The Hudson Artifactory Plugin brings Artifactory's Build Integration support to Hudson. This integration allows your build jobs to deploy artifacts automatically to Artifactory and have them linked to the build job that created them.
As part of deployment additional information is recorded by the plugin to give you full visibility of deployed artifacts, used dependencies and information about original build environment. As an important side affect the plugin also supports optimized end-of-build-only deployment.
To learn more about the Artifactory-side of the Hudson Artifactory Plugin, please read the documentation on the JFrog wiki.

Requirements

This plugin requires Artifactory 2.2.3 or later and Hudson 1.358 or later.
The plugin currently supports Maven 2, Maven 3, Gradle and Ivy-Ant builds.

Configuring Artifactory Server(s)

First, we need to configure the Artifactory server(s) that we will use to deploy artifacts and build info to. We do this on Hudson's system configuration page (Manage Hudson -> Configure System).
Locate the "Artifactory servers" configuration section, click the "Add" button and fill-in the Artifactory url and optionally a username and password that will be used to query Artifactory for a list of target repositories (this is only required if Artifactory is configured not to allow anonymous access).

You can also set the default deployer credentials (and the default resolver credentials used by some build types) that will be used by individual jobs when publishing and resolving to/from Artifactory.

Configuring Maven 2 and Maven 3 Builds

Once at least one Artifactory server is configured we can add the plugin as a post-build step in a Maven 2/3 build. To do this, create or edit a Maven 2/3 build project.

Maven 3 Support for Hudson < v1.392
The Hudson Artifactory plugin supports running Maven 3 builds in older versions of Hudson using free-style jobs, using a Maven 3 build step for running a Maven 3 installation configured in the general Hudson configuration, and a build environment section for the Artifactory Maven 3 integration (artifact and build information deployment). This feature is deprecated with newer versions of Hudson, so for Maven 3 builds users are encouraged to configure the Artifactory integration using Hudson's native Maven 2/3 build projects, as explained above.

Configuring Gradle Builds

You can use the Hudson Gradle Plugin (configured under a free-style job) in conjunction with the Hudson Artifactory Plugin and have your Gradle builds resolve artifacts from Artifactory and deploy artifacts and build information to Artifactory.

Configuring Ivy-Ant Builds

By using the Hudson Ivy Plugin together with the Hudson Artifactory Plugin your Ivy builds will publish artifacts and build information to Artifactory whenever an ivy:publish task is executed.

Install the Hudson Ivy Plugin
To use the Hudson Artifactory Plugin with Ivy builds you need to install the Hudson Ivy Plugin.

Publishing to your local file cache repository is the best way to go (i.e. you do not need to publish to Artifactory). The plugin will intercept the publish events and will replay them against Artifactory according to the configuration. Using an ivy:publish task that publishes directly to Artifactory will result in (redundant) double publishing.

License Control

You use the Artifactory Pro License Control feature to discover and handle third party dependency licensing issues as part of the build.
Check the 'Run license checks' option if wish that Artifactory will scan and check the licenses of all dependencies used by this build. If you wish to inform selected users about any license violations detected while scanning, you may enter a white-spaced list of e-mail addresses to the notification recipients text box.
