Gradle Inc. and JFrog-Artifactory collaborative - community wins!
Hans Dockter, Gradle Inc. CEO; project manager of the Gradle build system and Shlomi Ben-Haim, JFrog CEO - announced a new collaborative relationship between Gradle and JFrog.
The two organizations are coming together to collaborate on a series of technical solutions, that will enable users to work better, faster and be more productive.
Gradle is an enterprise-grade build system. Gradle allows you to describe your build using a rich, extensible build language based on Groovy. It comes with build-by-convention support for Java, Groovy, Scala, OSGi, and web projects. Gradle provides exciting solutions for the big pain points that exist with current build systems.
JFrog Ltd. is the home of Artifactory which is the world's most advanced binaries repository manager. Artifactory offers powerful enterprise features and is available in OSS, Profesional and Cloud-based versions.
Artifactory is the only repository manager offering built-in features for Gradle, Maven and Ivy artifacts, as well as a general-purpose binaries management platform.
Gradle Inc. and JFrog road-maps already include the following near-future plans:
- A plugin for Gradle that will make it very easy to connect to Artifactory servers for artifacts resolution and deployment.
- An Artifactory plugin for Hudson that will provide an easy way to upload artifacts produced by a Gradle build to an Artifactory repository. JFrog will support the Gradle open source project with Artifactory Online infrastructures for internal use and as a location for distributing Gradle plugins.
The companies also agreed on a business cooperation model which will ignite technical services, sales and marketing collaboration in order to promote Artifactory and Gradle as a coherent build solution.
Hans Dockter says: "There is a lot of innovation going on in the build arena these days. Finally there are now solutions that will allow users to fully reap the benefits of project automation."
"Gradle is one of the most promising build systems, we believe that this cooperation will provide our users with an innovative and powerful solution for their build environment" said Yoav Landman-JFrog CTO.
Both JFrog and Gradle are excited by this cooperation, and see it as a great opportunity for improving users' experience and advancing build technologies and tools.
This forth major release of Artifactory is focused around significant performance improvements, resource usage optimizations, and bug fixes.
Please see important update notes for this version.
This release also brings a couple of new important features to Artifactory:
- Open REST API - Artifactory's RESTful resources are now public and documented. Using the REST documentation or the auto-generated WADL file, Artifactory can be controlled and automated from external tools or frameworks.
- Enterprise-grade LDAP Groups Synchronization - this new Power Pack add-on lets you manage permissions in based on you existing LDAP groups. It offers fast caching of LDAP data (which is a must for an organization with hundreds or thousands of users), flexible group synchronization strategies, multiple settings, and tight integration and feedback about LDAP users and groups throughout all security-related management screens in Artifactory.
- Support for running Artifactory under GlassFish 3
- Support for queueing concurrent downloads of the same remote resource.
- Ability to annotate repositories with administrative comments.
- Improved UI branding.
The LDAP Groups add-on joins the existing set of commercial Artifactory Power Pack add-ons, that complete Artifactory professional version with:
- Build Integration: Integrate with your CI server (currently, Hudson - more coming) to have fully traceable builds including information about used modules and dependencies.
- Smart Searches: search and aggregate artifacts, obtained from multiple search results, that can be promoted or manipulated together in one go.
- Properties: define sets of custom, structured properties in the UI and use them (via the UI or REST API) to tag artifacts and folders and to query them through a special property-search UI.
- Watches: watch selected repository items for events (add, delete, or modify), and receive focused email notifications on changes that are interesting to you and that you are allowed to see.
- WebStart & Jar Signing: have requested artifacts and their dependencies automatically signed upon request. Use JFrog's OSS JavaFX Maven plug-in to deploy your Maven projects as fully modular WebStart/JavaFX applications with reusable, auto-signed dependencies.
- Single Sign-on: reuse existing, HTTP-based, enterprise SSO integrations such as the powerful authentication schemes provided by the Apache HTTP server (mod_auth_ldap, mod_auth_ntlm, mod_auth_kerb, etc.).
The Add-ons Power Pack includes yearly maintenance and bug fixes, and all future releases of new add-ons.
You might find the following comparison table helpful for comparing the open source version to the add-ons version.

JFrog is pleased to announce the availability of Artifactory 2.1.
Artifactory 2.1 is an advanced Maven/binaries repository manager that offers powerful enterprise features behind an intuitive, easy-to-use user interface.
In this third major release Artifactory offers many new features and improvements plus an Add-ons Power Pack, which is a set of paid-for add-ons bundled on top of the open-source version.
Among the new features offered by Artifactory 2.1:
The new Artifactory Add-ons Power Pack offers the following add-ons on top of Artifactory:
- Smart Searches: search and aggregate artifacts, obtained from multiple search results, that can be promoted or manipulated together in one go.
- Properties: define sets of custom, structured properties in the UI and use them (via the UI or REST API) to tag artifacts and folders and to query them through a special property-search UI.
- Watches: watch selected repository items for events (add, delete, or modify), and receive focused email notifications on changes that are interesting to you and that you are allowed to see.
- WebStart & Jar Signing: have requested artifacts and their dependencies automatically signed upon request. Use JFrog's OSS JavaFX Maven plug-in to deploy your Maven projects as fully modular WebStart/JavaFX applications with reusable, auto-signed dependencies.
- Single Sign-on: reuse existing, HTTP-based, enterprise SSO integrations such as the powerful authentication schemes provided by the Apache HTTP server (mod_auth_ldap, mod_auth_ntlm, mod_auth_kerb, etc.).
The add-ons power pack includes yearly maintanance and bug fixes, and all future releases of new add-ons.
You might find the following comparison table helpful for comparing the open source version to the add-ons version.
Artifactory 2.1 is available for immediate download from JFrog's web site or directly from SourceForge.
The Artifactory User Guide and Online Demo contain all the information you need.
Artifactory 2.1 is released under the LGPL v3 License.
Artifactory 2.1 is another revolutionary step for the Artifactory Maven repository manager that is now available to its users as a Cloud-Based service or as a powerful, local repository.
Enjoy!

The JFrog team is proud to announce the availability of a new cloud-based Maven Repository Manager service - Artifactory Online!
Artifactory Online allows small and medium-size organizations to effortlessly set up their own private Maven repository on the cloud and start using it in a couple of minutes!
There is no need to customize a dedicated machine, set-up HTTP access rules, install the software, configure common accessed public remote repositories, maintain and monitor the service, manage backups, and so on.
Artifactory Online is based on the upcoming 2.1 major upgrade release of the Artifactory open source Maven Repository Manager, which includes many new features and improvements. Apart from being able to use the latest and greatest release of Artifactory, the service also offers, as part of every package, a selected set of commercial add-ons for Artifactory, such as:
- Smart search based promotion – the ability to search and collect artifacts by building a "shopping cart" of found artifacts (based on any type of searches) that you can later manipulate in one go.
- Property-based artifact tagging – annotate artifacts and folders with fully-searchable properties. Define your own sets of structured properties, and use them from the UI or REST API to tag artifacts and locate them.
- Artifact Watches – Set watches on selected artifacts, folders, or repositories for add, delete, or modify events, and receive focused email notifications on repository changes that are interesting to you.
- Automatic Jar Signing and WebStart support – import JKS key-pairs into Artifactory, have requested artifacts and their dependencies automatically signed upon request, and deploy fully-modular WebStart/JavaFX applications with reusable, signed dependencies (using the OSS JavaFx Maven plug-in).
All account-related aspects are controlled via a super-easy to use, web-based Dashboard, which is a new addition to the simple and clean Artifactory web UI.
Artifactory Online is a subscription-based service, starting at $77 per month for a base package that includes:
* A hosted Artifactory private repository with:
o Selected commercial add-ons
o SLA-based hosting
o 24x7 monitoring
o Backups and support by JFrog's Artifactory team
* 4GB of storage space and 10GB of monthly data transfer
From our experience, the base package should cover the repository needs of most medium to small organizations.
The Artifactory Online cloud-based repository manager is offered with a 30-day, completely free trial period, so you are welcome to give it a go.
You can try out Artifactory Online and learn more about the service at: http://www.artifactoryonline.com

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) is set to be among the first sites in the world to install and test the latest version of Artifactory.
JFrog announced earlier this week that the IAF, alongside two startup companies, had been approved to become a beta site of Artifactory 2.1.
Lt. Galansky of the IAF’s Computing Division has confirmed that the IAF is planning to set up and use Artifactory.
Artifactory, an advanced repository manager,offers powerful enterprise features with fine-grained permission control behind a sleek, easy-to-use web UI.
Artifactory 2.1, the next major release, is expected to be open source and commercially available in July 2009 and will include new features and enterprise add-ons.
Galansky said that the IAF is currently exploring the option of using Maven with Artifactory on several sites.
Yoav Landman, JFrog's Co. Founder and Development Lead, said: "Mission critical Java projects make one of the world's finest air forces, a unique vantage point and source of experience to provide JFrog with expert-level feedback and advice."
Throughout this collaborative process, JFrog will continue to provide the IAF with the best technology and support.
The Froggers will go to JavaOne 2009 to present a clean development process for JavaFX applications.
We will show a demo of TwitterFX development using Maven2, JavaFX, JNLP, Artifactory and WebStart.
Come meet us at The Server Side Java Symposium, March 18-20, Las Vegas, to see what makes Artifactory so great and what's coming up in the next version of Artifactory, making it even greater!
Our live demo is on Thursday, March 19, on 5 PM, Main Ballroom.
