Announcing Nexus 1.5.0: LDAP, Archive Browsing, Javadoc, and More


January 28, 2010 By Damian Bradicich

Sonatype is pleased to announce the availability of Nexus 1.5.0.   The major announcement? We’ve moved our LDAP integration into Nexus Open Source.  In addition to the LDAP changes, this release also contains some important features:  Nexus Open Source now ships with the Remote Repository Browsing plugin, and Nexus Professional now has the capability to browse repository archives and serve Javadoc.    Nexus Professional has two new plugins: the new Enterprise LDAP plugin which supports multiple LDAP servers and provides caching options for LDAP integration, and a new Branding plugin which allows you to customize the appearance of the Nexus UI.

Downloading Nexus 1.5.0

If you are already using Nexus, it is easy to upgrade.   Download the distribution, unpack it next to your sonatype-work/ directory – that’s all it takes to upgrade.   If you haven’t installed Nexus yet, download a distribution, unpack it, and run the appropriate script under ${nexus_home}/bin/jsw.   If you are not yet using a repository manager, now’s the time.

The rest of this post provides an overview of some of the release highlights. Continue reading →

Nexus 1.5.0 Highlights: Open Sourcing Nexus LDAP Integration


By Brian Demers

With the 1.5.0 release of Nexus, Sonatype is opening up the current LDAP features in Pro, and making them a part of Nexus Open Source.  Starting with this release, Nexus Open Source users will be able to integrate with LDAP, Active Directory, and Atlassian Crowd servers (via LDAP).  Nexus is the only repository manager with both Authentication AND Authorization (group / role mapping) via LDAP and now this integration is free for all to use.

As we transition this feature to Nexus Open Source, we are also announcing a new Nexus Enterprise LDAP plugin that will support more advanced deployment use cases including support for federated LDAP servers and more intelligent caching of authentication information. Continue reading →

Next Generation Maven Development Stack @ JFokus


January 26, 2010 By Jason van Zyl

For my talk today at JFokus today I’ve taken the liberty of starting some notes for folks interested in attending. There’s a lot to cover and so I thought I would try the approach of providing some material up front so the session can be more of a dialog. I’m going to attempt to cover everything in the picture below and save the demos folks might want to see for the Sonatype booth. Happy to chat with folks and do any demos before and after the presentation. Just stop by!
