Resolvers 

Maven resolvers 

Resolvers for Maven repositories are added as follows:

resolvers +=
  "Sonatype OSS Snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"

This is the most common kind of user-defined resolvers. The rest of this page describes how to define other types of repositories.

Local Maven resolvers 

Following adds a resolver to the Maven local repository:

resolvers += Resolver.mavenLocal

To add a resolver for a custom location:

resolvers += MavenCache("local-maven", file("path/to/maven-repo/releases"))

Predefined resolvers 

A few predefined repositories are available and are listed below

• Resolver.mavenLocal This is the local Maven repository.
• DefaultMavenRepository This is the main Maven repository at https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ and is included by default
• JavaNet2Repository This is the java.net Maven2 Repository at https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/public/
• Resolver.sonatypeOssRepos("public") (or “snapshots”, “staging”, “releases”) This is Sonatype OSS Maven Repository at https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/public, https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories
• Resolver.typesafeRepo("releases") (or “snapshots”) This is Typesafe Repository at https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases
• Resolver.typesafeIvyRepo("releases") (or “snapshots”) This is Typesafe Ivy Repository at https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases
• Resolver.sbtPluginRepo("releases") (or “snapshots”) This is sbt Community Repository at https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases
• Resolver.bintrayRepo("owner", "repo") This is the Bintray repository at https://dl.bintray.com/[owner]/[repo]/
• Resolver.jcenterRepo This is the Bintray JCenter repository at https://jcenter.bintray.com/

For example, to use the java.net repository, use the following setting in your build definition:

resolvers += JavaNet2Repository

Predefined repositories will go under Resolver going forward so they are in one place:

Resolver.sonatypeOssRepos("releases")  // Or "snapshots"

Custom resolvers 

sbt provides an interface to the repository types available in Ivy: file, URL, SSH, and SFTP. A key feature of repositories in Ivy is using patterns to configure repositories.

Construct a repository definition using the factory in sbt.Resolver for the desired type. This factory creates a Repository object that can be further configured. The following table contains links to the Ivy documentation for the repository type and the API documentation for the factory and repository class. The SSH and SFTP repositories are configured identically except for the name of the factory. Use Resolver.ssh for SSH and Resolver.sftp for SFTP.

Basic Examples 

These are basic examples that use the default Maven-style repository layout.

Filesystem 

Define a filesystem repository in the test directory of the current working directory and declare that publishing to this repository must be atomic.

resolvers += Resolver.file("my-test-repo", file("test")) transactional()

URL 

Define a URL repository at "https://example.org/repo-releases/".

resolvers += Resolver.url("my-test-repo", url("https://example.org/repo-releases/"))

To specify an Ivy repository, use:

resolvers += Resolver.url("my-test-repo", url)(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)

or customize the layout pattern described in the Custom Layout section below.

SFTP and SSH Repositories 

The following defines a repository that is served by SFTP from host "example.org":

resolvers += Resolver.sftp("my-sftp-repo", "example.org")

To explicitly specify the port:

resolvers += Resolver.sftp("my-sftp-repo", "example.org", 22)

To specify a base path:

resolvers += Resolver.sftp("my-sftp-repo", "example.org", "maven2/repo-releases/")

Authentication for the repositories returned by sftp and ssh can be configured by the as methods.

To use password authentication:

resolvers += Resolver.ssh("my-ssh-repo", "example.org") as("user", "password")

or to be prompted for the password:

resolvers += Resolver.ssh("my-ssh-repo", "example.org") as("user")

To use key authentication:

resolvers += {
  val keyFile: File = ...
  Resolver.ssh("my-ssh-repo", "example.org") as("user", keyFile, "keyFilePassword")
}

or if no keyfile password is required or if you want to be prompted for it:

resolvers += Resolver.ssh("my-ssh-repo", "example.org") as("user", keyFile)

To specify the permissions used when publishing to the server:

resolvers += Resolver.ssh("my-ssh-repo", "example.org") withPermissions("0644")

This is a chmod-like mode specification.

Custom Layout 

These examples specify custom repository layouts using patterns. The factory methods accept an Patterns instance that defines the patterns to use. The patterns are first resolved against the base file or URL. The default patterns give the default Maven-style layout. Provide a different Patterns object to use a different layout. For example:

resolvers += Resolver.url("my-test-repo", url)( Patterns("[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]") )

You can specify multiple patterns or patterns for the metadata and artifacts separately. You can also specify whether the repository should be Maven compatible (as defined by Ivy). See the patterns API for the methods to use.

For filesystem and URL repositories, you can specify absolute patterns by omitting the base URL, passing an empty Patterns instance, and using ivys and artifacts:

resolvers += Resolver.url("my-test-repo") artifacts
        "https://example.org/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]"
