In addition to the basic settings that are common for all virtual repositories, the following settings are available when configuring P2 repositories.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Force Authentication | Select this option to require the use of basic authentication credentials to use this repository. |
Local Repository | Select the local repository to include in the virtual repository. Typically this will be either a Maven or a Generic repository. |
Path Suffix | Defines an optional sub-path inside the local repository where P2 metadata files reside. When left empty, P2 metadata files (content, artifacts, compositeContent, etc.) are assumed to reside directly in the repository root directory. If you have a Tycho repository deployed as a single archive, specify the archive's root path. For example: 'eclipse-repository.zip!'. |
P2 Repository URL | Defines the URL of the remote repository that contains the P2 metadata files. NoteArtifactory analyzes the added URL and identifies which remote repositories should be created in Artifactory based on the remote P2 metadata (since remote P2 repositories may aggregate information from different hosts). |
