This plugin adds a new build parameter type for resolving artifact versions reading the repository maven-metadata.xml. 

Description

In any jenkins job enable the "This build is parametrerized" checkbox, from the drop-down that appears select the "List maven artifact versions", configure the artifact you want to retrieve the versions for and voilà.

Parameters

Because there are multiple aspects that can be of interest about an artifact in a maven repository this plugin will not set the parameter name you give in the configuration of your job, but will rather use that name as a seed for a set of parameters. Example:

In your configuration you have created a parameter named "MY_JAR" and have configured all values correctly. Then the following parameters will be set for the build step:

• MY_JAR_VERSION - the version you selected in the dropdown or that was selected as part of an automated build
• MY_JAR_ARTIFACT_URL - the full URL to the actual artifact selected. You can use something like "wget" to download that artifact and do something with it.
• MY_JAR_GROUP_ID - echoes back your configuration
• MY_JAR_ARTIFACT_ID - echoes back your configuration
• MY_JAR_CLASSIFIER - echoes back your configuration
• MY_JAR_PACKAGING - echoes back your configuration

Known issues

• None at the moment.

Upgrade Information

Repository Username and Password

With release 1.3, the Repository Username and Repository Password have been migrated to Repository Credentials. Now, repository credentials are stored in the global credentials. Usernames and Passwords of previous plugin versions are automatically migrated: For each Repository Base URL and Repository Username combination, a new global credentials object will be created and referenced.
