Ahh, forgot that it should be <snapshotRepository> and not <repository> below
So it should be <distributionManagement> <snapshotRepository> <id>nexus</id> <url>scp://serveraddress/usr/local/sonatype-work/nexus/storage/snapshots</url> </snapshotRepository> </distributionManagement> Its working now, well not entirely since the account I am usng doesn't write permission on the directory I am trying to write this snapshot to but that's a different issue and will be solved by tmrw. I will report back when I do successfully write the snapshot to the snapshot repo Thanks for your help Ron -------------------------------------------- Shahzad Qureshi Systems Analyst/Programmer Applications Directorate | La direction générale des applications Chief Information Environment Canada 416-739-4702 shahzad.qure...@ec.gc.ca -----Original Message----- From: Qureshi,Shahzad [Ontario] [mailto:shahzad.qure...@ec.gc.ca] Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 9:30 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: *****SPAM***** RE: Upload snapshot on nexus Did that, also added a distributionManagement section in the pom like the following <distributionManagement> <repository> <id>nexus</id> <url>scp://serveraddress/usr/local/sonatype-work/nexus/storage/snapshots</url> </repository> </distributionManagement> And I still get the exact same error -------------------------------------------- Shahzad Qureshi Systems Analyst/Programmer Applications Directorate | La direction générale des applications Chief Information Environment Canada 416-739-4702 shahzad.qure...@ec.gc.ca -----Original Message----- From: Ron Wheeler [mailto:rwhee...@artifact-software.com] Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 8:50 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Upload snapshot on nexus http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/ch14s04.html Qureshi,Shahzad [Ontario] wrote: > Hi all, > > I am having problem uploading a snapshot of my project to our internal > nexus repository.
