WARNING Not tested with the sbt script from the Debian package, if you use it be sure to check the .sbtconfig is correctly imported.

Instructions

• Put .sbtconfig in $HOME/.sbtconfig
• Put credentials.sbt in $HOME/.sbt/0.13/plugins/credentials.sbt
• Put .credentials in $HOME/.ivy2/.credentials
• Put repositoriesin $HOME/.sbt/repositories

Nexus configuration

On your Nexus instance, you need to create two "Repository Groups", one called ivy and one called maven. The ivy one should include these two repositories:

• http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/
• http://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases/

The maven one should include at least the Maven Central repository, already configured in Nexus by default. You can add in this group any other repository you want, like the Aapche Snapshots repository or whatever.

credentials += Credentials(Path.userHome / ".ivy2" / ".credentials")

repositories

[repositories]
local
my-ivy-proxy-releases: http://nexus.company.com/nexus/content/groups/ivy/, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
my-maven-proxy-releases: http://nexus.company.com/nexus/content/groups/maven/

While doing some cleanup I realized that other people actually used this. I've not used sbt for a least 3 years so it's completely possible it no longer works.

If someone ends up here and notices something wrong you can ping me and I'll amend the gist.

What repository type should I choose on Nexus since Ivy is not an option? Or is it just not an option in Nexus OSS?
