jvm_artifact in a Scala project: how to set custom repository?

[mberndt123]

Hey,

I'm trying to build a Scala project that relies on some internal libraries hosted on our own Nexus artifact repository. How can I tell Pants about that repository? How do I configure credentials for it?

Is this answered in this Slack thread?

If so, could you copy the useful part of the answer into this discussion, for posterity? Thanks.

OK, so the way to do this is:

1. add our maven repo to pants.toml:

[coursier]
repos.add = [
  "https://nexus.mycompany.de/repository/maven-releases",
  "https://packages.confluent.io/maven/" #another repo we need
]

3. add coursier credentials via a properties file (~/.config/coursier/credentials.properties).

mycompany.realm=Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager
mycompany.host=nexus.mycompany.de
mycompany.username=matthias.berndt
mycompany.password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
