I have Linux OS and I do not have access to REST API, so I used following commands to get the latest version of snapshots from Nexus:Īn example snapshots maven-metadata.xml from WSO2 repository: $ curl -s ""Įxtracting from latest XML tag inside maven-metadata.xml: curl -s "" | \ In general you should know the exact version you're going to use. Last point: do not use latest versions of artifacts, in the vast majority of cases if you have such a use case, then something is wrong with your deployments (or whatever you're doing). If you don't increment numeric part, then x.y.z-SNAPSHOT will always return the latest binary.
Or you can write your own plugin for Nexus.Īlternatively, if your workflow allows that, you can use SNAPSHOTs instead of release versions. In order to find the LATEST artifact version you should either write your own script to invoke Search API and sort artifact versions as you want. Do you want to rely on the mechanism that may break at any moment (e.g. if you run Rebuild Metadata for the Nexus repository. If right now it returns you the correct version of the artifact, tomorrow this may stop working e.g.
Nexus simply doesn't guarantee the LATEST to work in other cases. In Nexus LATEST is designed to work with maven plugins rather than with regular artifacts.
