As a Maven repository, Artifactory is both a source for artifacts needed for a build, and a target to deploy artifacts generated in the build process. Maven is configured using a settings.xml file located under your Maven home directory (typically, this will be /user.home/.m2/settings.xml). Once your Maven build is configured, Artifactory provides tight integration with commonly used CI servers (such as Jenkins, TeamCity or Bamboo) through a set of plugins that you can install and use freely.
