Why are my java.net snapshots using Sonatype not appearing

Question

My JAUDIOTAGGER project is hosted on java.net and can deploy new versions of my snapshot as follows

mvn deploy -Dgpg.passphrase=password

It all seems to work, this is the output I get:

Uploading: https://maven.java.net/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2//net/jthink/jaudiotagger/2.0.4/jaudiotagger-2.0.4.jar

However when I go to:

https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/snapshots/net/jthink/jaudiotagger/2.0.4-SNAPSHOT/

there is no change

If I go to

https://maven.java.net/content/groups/public/net/jthink/jaudiotagger/2.0.4-SNAPSHOT/

then both these files are updated

• maven-metadata.xml.md5

• maven-metadata.xml.sha

but nothing else

I'm not clear which one it should be in , but shouldnt it be in at least one of these

Answer 1

Got it working.

I logged onto https://maven.java.net/index.html#welcome and deleted various staging repositories. Then I edited my pom so that version said

 <version>2.0.4-SNAPSHOT</version>

rather than

 <version>2.0.4</version>

and reran

mvn deploy -Dgpg.passphrase=xxxx

Now its available at

https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/snapshots/net/jthink/jaudiotagger/2.0.4-SNAPSHOT/

So now Im going to try and do a proper release, I assume I set version back to

<version>2.0.4</version>

but I cant find anything in the documentation that tells me I should do this.

Answer 2

You are not deploying a SNAPSHOT you are deploying releases which means your artifacts will be uploaded into the staging repository. This is indicated by the upload url:

https://maven.java.net/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/ne...

Furthermore i assume you have to acknowledge the artifacts in the staging repo and afterwards the artifacts will be synchronized into the release repository.
