Nexus release staging repository solution

I want to implement really simple workflow for our release management:

1. Developers deploy's the build with maven to the staging nexus repository
2. QA team access this repository, i开发者_开发问答f they give a green light to the release, they promotes the releases to the release nexus repository which can be accessed by the customers

My question is: what is the easiest way to copy the content of the certified release from the staging repository to the release repository? Is there any nexus-copy, migrate, push, ... etc commands?

You can do that directly in Nexus. It has built-in support for that. But you'll need Nexus Pro.

The question is old, but here are my 0.02 that might still be valid for people arriving that late here :)

• If you are doing CI, you will end up needing Jenkins...
• Then, check out the Artifact Promotion plugin, that basically simulates the promotion of Nexus Pro on Nexus OSS. Of course, it's a workaround, but work.. around. :)
