A local SBT repository is used as a target to which you can deploy the output of your build.sbt script. To create an SBT repository, from the Administration module, under Repositories | Repositories | Local, set the Package Type to SBT.
When setting up a repository in JFrog Artifactory for SBT packages, the sbt-default layout is automatically selected if no other layout is specified.
SBT Default
Layout Name:
sbt-defaultDescription: This layout is automatically applied when creating a repository without specifying a layout.
Limitations: Not supported for cleanup and archiving. The
sbt-defaultlayout is not suitable for resolving artifacts during cleanup/archive activities.Recommendation: Avoid using this layout. Instead, opt for alternative layouts that are designed for better artifact management.
Recommended Repository Layouts
We recommend using the following layouts for the best effective dependency management, archive and cleanup processes.
Maven Layout
Layout Name:
maven-2-defaultDescription: Designed for Maven projects.
Recommended Action: Choose this layout when working with Maven to ensure proper handling of artifacts, seamless dependency resolution and resolving artifacts during cleanup/archive activities.
Ivy Layout
Layout Name:
sbt-ivy-defaultDescription: Designed for Ivy projects.
Recommended Action: Choose this layout when working with Ivy to ensure proper handling of artifacts, seamless dependency resolution and resolving artifacts during cleanup/archive activities.
Note
If you have configured repositories with the sbt-default layout, it is recommended to edit these repositories and apply one of the recommended layouts.
Recalculate Index: After changing the layout of a repository, recalculate the index. This step is crucial for indexing artifacts and calculating metadata for all uploaded packages, which in turn optimizes performance during artifact resolution and enhances cleanup and archiving processes.
