Hi Raj, I think I understand what you're trying to do, but you might need to think about Artifactory a bit differently. (Apologies if you already understand all this -- but the way I read your question, maybe you don't yet.)
* Path Structure Although it looks and (sort-of) works like a filesystem (you can create any folder structure you like), really it's meant to be used more like a database: the path structure you create should follow common patterns so that other tools can read it automatically. For example, with a JVM-oriented tool like Maven, Ivy, or Gradle, the user specifies a "group:name:version" string and the tool translates it into an HTTP URL, e.g., "https://myartifactory.local/some-repo/group/name/version"; and then looks for files below that. If you make your own structure, those tools will require some customisation to use it. * Dependency Metadata Module versions in Artifactory can (and usually do) come with some kind of metadata file which describes their dependencies on other module versions. Again for JVM-oriented tools, this is normally a "pom.xml" or "ivy.xml". So, if you wanted to make one module which "pulls in" other modules, you would normally put that relationship information in the metadata file. * Repository Types Normally in Artifactory (at least from 4.x) each repo is intended for one type of module (JVM, .NET, npm, and so on) in one format (for example, JVM modules can be in Maven POM or Ivy format). If you store different kinds of module in one repo, some features of Artifactory won't work as well (e.g., searching, and bulk deletion of versions). If you store them in different formats (whether or not they're in the same repo), there isn't really any off-the-shelf tool which will let you track the dependencies between modules automatically. My suggestion would be one of the following. 1. Put each module in its own kind of repo, and write your own metadata format plus some script (or extend some other tool like Gradle) so that it can pull all those modules from Artifactory and put them together on another machine in the layout you want. It might be enough to use the REST API or the "Art" command-line tool. 2. Put all modules in the same repo as ZIP files and use a tool like Gradle to pull them down. The advantage is that Gradle understands ZIP files automatically so you can do more with them in one scripting tool. The disadvantage is that you lose any "smart" integration with other tools (e.g., Visual Studio using a NuGet repo). But whatever you do, keep it simple to start with! Hope that's helpful ...

To create a final product we need to compile all the project dependencies and then package. So now I am trying to create one repository and create 12 folders under that repository. 12 folders will contain release binaries of 12 different projects which includes maven, c , c# etc. I explored and found there is no straightforward way to create an empty folder in Artifactory Can anyone suggest an alternate, using REST API's to create empty folders in Artifactory. Note: I am using PRO version. Any suggestion and help on this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
