I am using Free Style Projects (in Jenkins) to schedule a regression test.
1. Get Source From BitBucket
2. Execute Windows Batch Command.
Earlier we are allowed to upload the jar files in Bitbucket. So we did not face any issue. Now Presently due to some changes in the process, we are not allowed to upload binaries which is affecting to upload jars in the Bitbucket.
Now, They gave given the artifactory url to set up for Maven. But we don't have any Maven projects.
It seems that artifactory is getting populated when it is hosted in the local. But we wanted to use the artifactory which is shared..
Can any one let me know the set up for free style project and the artifactory hosted in other machine and we have only URL.
Thanks
Here is documentation:

I recommend to use Maven Project.

I use a script in Jenkins to build delphi projects and I want to deploy their .exe outputs to Artifactory server but I dont know how. Is there any plugin to deploy exe files to Artifactory?
Is it a good idea to deploy them to Artifactory?
The best would be using the Jenkins Artifactory plugin.
The plugin allows your build jobs to deploy artifacts automatically to Artifactory and have them linked to the build job that created them.
The support for generic (freestyle) builds is probably the most suitable one for deploying the .exe files. As part of the support for generic builds, you will be able to defined patterns for selecting which files would be deployed and to where.
I need to promote debian packages build in jenkins to the repo (aptly.. maybe artifactory). However, the available plugins seem to be broken for multiple branch projects. Has anybody found a solution to get around this?
You can use Artifactory Jenkins plugin for that. Define the deb files you want to upload (metadata will be generated by Artifactory for you).
Please note that you need to attach some properties to the uploaded files. From Jenkins you don't need to craft the URL, instead add the properties in the "Deployment properties" textfield.
I'm wondering if there is an easy way to "publish" p2 update sites in Jenkins (built with Tycho) so that they can easily be accessed in downstreams jobs? Currently I'm doing it semi-manually using Jenkins support for copying artifacts between jobs, and then specifying a repository-mirror element in a job-specific settings.xml which refers to the artifacts copied into the job, but this is all a little tricky and requires configuring jobs and build settings in a number of different places.
Is there any nicer way short of using an external solution such as Artifactory?
The only solution involving a repository manager that I am aware of is to use a Nexus and the Unzip Plug-in. (Disclaimer: The Unzip Plug-in is provided by the Tycho project, of which I am a committer.)
With such a setup, you could have one job deploy an update site to Nexus, and the next job use the update site via the unzip URL of the deployed site. Example: If the site was deployed under the GAV project.abc:site:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, you could then access it via http://<nexus>/content/repositories/<unzip-repo-name>/project/abc/site/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/site-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-unzip/.
Note that you are slightly less flexible with such a setup that with what you have set up now: You need to have a version number for what your upstream project is building, so this may become tricky if you have multiple feature branches developing towards the same release version.
If you don't need this, you have the benefit of getting a portable build of your downstream project, i.e. developers build the project in the same way as your Jenkins does.
I'm trying to setup Artifactory(free version) and Hudson to deploy artifacts.
The main stuff already works, i can deploy to Artifactory via Hudson. Using the Artifactory Hudson Plugin with generic deployment.
I am also able to browse the deployed stuff via the Tree & Simple Browser.
What not works correctly is the Build Browser, it does show everything except the artifacts deployed by the build. In the published modules view it should show all artifacts, but the tables are just greyed out for me.
Example how it should look:
Link to the official Jfrog Artifactory demo repository
Does anyone know if this view is maybe a pro feature, or any other tips how to resolve this problem?
The build integration feature is limited in the OSS version. You need the Pro version to get the full deal.
I've used the description setter plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Description+Setter+Plugin . In my case i take the last revision and put a link to the artifact in artifactory. In this way on every build i can see a direct link to the artifact changing the path like you want.
We are using maven in the development process. Maven provides a nice feature of configuring the repositories. Using this feature I have created a remote internal repository and I can download the dependencies from that repository.
The development machines are pointing to this remote internal repository. Each development machine has its own local repository(~/.m2/repository/) and hence the dependencies of the project are downloaded from the remote internal repositor**y to the **local repository(~/.m2/repository/) on each developer machine.
Is there any way that the local repository(~/.m2/repository/) on developer machines can be set to the internal remote repository that we have created and which is used for downloading the dependencies from.
If take a look on Maven Introduction to Repositories first paragraph says:
There are strictly only two types of repositories: local and remote.
There is no way how you could change this behavior.
If you would handle that differently it would cause many problems. E.g. build would take much longer because of downloading file all files, IDE would work not work properly (project dependencies would not be stored local), ...
May I suggest another approach to share dependencies and artifacts. In our projects we use nexus as a proxy and repository for our artifacts. It works well with no issues. A basic configuration I already posted here.
After nexus is running you could also setup continous integration using jenkins and enjoy a fully automated environment.
Is your requirement to avoid each developer from having to download all dependencies to his local repository?
Assuming your remote internal repository has the same format as a maven local repository, you can achieve this by adding the following line in the settings.xml of all your developers.
<localRepository>shared-drive-location-of-remote-repository</localRepository>
