Description
Currently, when we deploy a new GenoViz SDK jar to Nexus, we have to build it locally and then run mvn deploy to release the new artifact to the Nexus repository where we are distributing IGB project artifacts.
The release engineer who does this must configure their local computer to include a release engineer user name and password for accepted by the Nexus site.
However, the version of java used and other aspects may vary. It would be better to use a single environment for building the artifact. Also, it would be nice if this could be done from bitbucket pipelines, which uses the same Docker image as IGB and other Java-based projects.
Let's change how this is done!
For this task:
- Configure the POM for Genoviz SDK and bitbucket pipelines YML to release artifacts to Nexus.
In addition, investigate plugins released by Nexus that deploy artifacts.

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28071697/is-it-possible-to-pass-a-password-in-maven-deploy-in-the-command-line
Use google to look for additional tips and examples.
Also, investigate other possible improvements, including formalizing the release process using release branches.
Goal: Make this project as professional as possible to encourage developers to use the library in their projects – and hopefully contribute.

Please refer the comments in IGBF-1993 for the same.
Code changes are available at:
https://bitbucket.org/pkulka10/igb_docker/src/IGBF-1993/
https://bitbucket.org/pkulka10/new_genoviz/src/IGBF-1945/
For the next step:
Please investigate: can we parameterize the repository id?
Can we use variable substitution to specify the "id" for a deployment repository - as in the following?
<settings>
<servers>
<server>
<id>$
</id>
<username>$
</username>
<password>$
</password>
</server>
</servers>
</settings>
Can we then reference the repository id, password, and user name in the mvn deploy command as in the following?
mvn -Drepo.login=$USER -Drepo.pwd=$PASSWD -Drepo.id=$ID deploy
Prof. [~aloraine], I have changed it back to the maven-releases.
The code changes are present at: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/genoviz-sdk/pull-requests/17/igbf-1945/diff
Could you please merge it into the master?
Sorry – one more question about the mvn clean command
Prof. [~aloraine], The command is not required in custom configuration. Removed it and submitted a new PR for the which is present at: same.https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/genoviz-sdk/pull-requests/17/igbf-1945/diff
Could you please merge it into the master?
Thanks.
Deployed on lorainelab genoviz sdk repository. Ran pipeline. Artifacts were transferred successfully to nexus.bioviz.org. Works great!
Now marking this as "closed".

To do this task, it looks like we need to re-create the Docker image to enable maven to pick up repository credentials using maven settings.xml. For this, we will need to add credentials in such a way that will allow testing by the person who does this.
This task will require coordination with Dr. Loraine to test the Nexus deployment part. What we will do is grant the developer write access to a test-only repository on our Nexus site.
