Artifactory Migration

Background

The Grails central plugin repository is a custom repository backed by SVN. It has served Grails well but has a number of significant problems:

  • Not Maven compatible - Maven users cannot resolve plugins from the repository and Grails plugins have to be repacked for Maven
  • No permissions model - Any user with permission the repository can publish any plugin
  • Size issues - The repository has become huge, and includes giga-bytes of data. Duplication of Jars stored in it is an issue here.

Solution

Migrate to Artifactory Online for repository management http://repo.grails.org
