This Jenkins Plugin adds additional metadata to artifacts that are deployed to Nexus repository (Sonatype). It makes use of features from Nexus Professional.

cd nexus-metadata-plugin
mvn clean package
- Jenkins CI Server
- Nexus Pro (Sonatype)
- Nexus Metadata Plugin
After unpacking Nexus Pro you should find the nexus-custom-metadata-plugin-2.0.6.jar file under the optional-plugins. Take that JAR file and add it to your local Maven Repository or to your Nexus installation.
