Maven Wagon Provider for Windows Azure Blob storage

Provides a Maven Wagon implementation (see Maven website) for Windows Azure Blob storage. You can use Blob storage containers to store the artifacts of a remote/distribution repository of Maven.

Configuration

1. Add an extension tag to your pom.xml file to enable the usage of Windows Azure Blob storage Wagon provider implementation

    <extensions>
    	<extension>
    		<groupId>com.microsoft.windowsazure</groupId>
    		<artifactId>maven-wagon-azure-blob</artifactId>
    		<version>1.0.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
    	</extension>
    </extensions>
   

2. Add a plugin repository entry in your pom.xml file to be able to download the extension

   ExtensionsRepo http://jmamavenrepos.blob.core.windows.net/releases true false

3. Set up distribution management in your pom.xml file

   AzureTest AzureTest azureblob://DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=mavenwagontests/tests

Note: 'url' tag starts with 'azureblob' which is the wagon protocol for Windows Azure Blob storage. After 'azureblob://' a valid Windows Azure Storage connection string gets specified, followed by '/' and the name of the blob container to be used.

3. Add Windows Azure Storage credentials to Maven's settings.xml file

    <server>
    	<id>AzureTest</id>
    	<privateKey>[YourWindowsAzureStorageAccountKey]</privateKey>
    </server>	
   

The 'privateKey' tag contains the Windows Azure Storage account key

:your-profile {:deploy-repositories {"snapshots" {:url "azureblob://<<YourAzureStorageAccountConnectionString>>" :no-auth true}
                                     "releases" {:url "azureblob://<<YourAzureStorageAccountConnectionString>>" :no-auth true}}
               :plugins [[com.microsoft.windowsazure/maven-wagon-azure-blob "1.0.2-SNAPSHOT"]]}

Then you can deploy with:

lein with-profile your-profile deploy
