Assuming you have started a project already and have admin rights,
create a local sshfs mount: (http://blog.damontimm.com/how-to-mount-a-sftp-folder-ssh-ftp-on-ubuntu-linux-using-sshfs-fuse/ )
so create a folder to hold the mount:
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir sourceforge
sshfs This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.:/home/project-web/clearcheckbookjavaapi /home/stephen/Desktop/sourceforge/
(can unmount with fusermount -u /home/stephen/Desktop/sourceforge/ if you want to change the directory its mounted at)
cd to your htdocs directory
cd /home/stephen/Desktop/sourceforge/htdocs/
create a maven folder
mkdir maven
cd into it
cd maven
make the directory indexable - create .htaccess file with the contents "Options +Indexes" - see http://clearcheckbookjavaapi.sourceforge.net/maven/
vi .htaccess
Options +Indexes
Now follow the steps in this link to create the repository structure and files: http://www.javaworld.com/article/2073230/maven-repository-in-three-steps.html
- build the project with extra commands to do the release: mvn install -DperformRelease=true -DcreateChecksum=true
- copy the relevant files from your local repository, ~/.m2 to your maven folder in the mount, e.g. /home/stephen/Desktop/sourceforge/htdocs/maven. This will contain the code you deployed plus any projects you have used, so you probably don't need to copy it all.
- cd to that folder, e.g. /home/stephen/Desktop/sourceforge/htdocs/maven and go to the release folder of your project, e.g. /home/stephen/Desktop/sourceforge/htdocs/maven/com/leonarduk/clearcheckbook/clearcheckbookapi/0.1 and rename the maven-metadata-local.xml and create the checksums:
mv maven-metadata-local.xml maven-metadata.xml md5sum maven-metadata.xml > maven-metadata.xml.md5 sha1sum maven-metadata.xml > maven-metadata.xml.sha1
You can now use this in another maven project by adding this to its pom.xml
... <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.leonarduk.clearcheckbook</groupId> <artifactId>clearcheckbookapi</artifactId> <version>0.1</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <repositories> <repository> <releases> <enabled>true</enabled> <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy> <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy> </releases> <id>Clearcheckbookapi</id> <name>Clearcheckbookapi</name> <url>http://clearcheckbookjavaapi.sourceforge.net/maven/</url> <layout>default</layout> </repository> </repositories> ...
