How to access a secured Nexus with sbt?

by

Here’s what I did (sbt 0.13 + artifactory – setup should be similar for nexus):

1) Edited the file ~/.sbt/repositories as specified here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13.0/docs/Detailed-Topics/Proxy-Repositories.html

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

2) Locked down my artifactory to disable anonymous access.

3) Created a credentials file in ~/.sbt/.credentials

realm=Artifactory Realm
host=artifactory.mycompany.com
user=username
password=password

4) Created a file under ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/credentials.sbt that wires up the default credentials

credentials += Credentials(Path.userHome / ".sbt"https://stackoverflow.com/".credentials")

Now when my project loads sbt hits artifactory like normal.

The reason I did it this way is to keep the repository definitions, etc, out of the project files to enable teams to have flexibility (they can set up an internal server to serve in-progress artifacts, etc).
