Viewing Component Information in Nexus Repository 2

Nexus Repository 2

In Nexus Repository Manager, the Artifact Search feature helps you find components in your repositories. In the search results, you can drill down for more detailed information. For example, after you perform a search, click Show All Versions, if available, in the search results to see information such as version, age, popularity, and more. This is displayed in the figure below.

Tip

To get results that are not in the local Nexus Repository Manager cache, you will want to make sure the Download Remote Index option is enabled for the proxy repository. For guidance on this, check out Configuring Repositories.

Once you’ve configured the IQ Server connection, additional component information such as security issues is displayed in the Nexus Repository Manager search results, for example:
