Notes for the upgrade from Nexus Professional 1.9.0.2 to 1.9.2

Installation

1. Download Nexus 1.9.2 from Sonatype

2. Unzip Nexus to the /services/nexus directory.  There may be a warning about the file sonatype-work/README.txt being overwritten.  It is ok to overwrite this file.

# cd /services/nexus

3. Install the URL authentication realm jar version 2.4 and configuration file.

The jar file can be downloaded from central: http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/sonatype/security/realms/security-url-realm/2.4/security-url-realm-2.4.jar

Documentation is in the Sonatype wiki: https://docs.sonatype.com/display/SPRTNXOSS/URL+Realm

The configuration file should be already installed within the upgrade to 1.9.0.2

4. Activate the nexus-branding-plugin which displays the jboss.org logo

# cp -r nexus-professional-webapp-1.9.2/runtime/apps/nexus/optional-plugins/nexus-branding-plugin-1.9.2/ nexus-professional-webapp-1.9.2/runtime/apps/nexus/plugin-repository/

Add the following lines at the end of the file nexus-professional-webapp-1.9.2/conf/plexus.properties

# JBoss logo path used by the branding plugin
