Deploying artifacts in nexus from maven gives error "Return code is: 401"?

I am getting 401 error while deploying in nexus. I does not make any changes to the installed nexus. Nexus is running on localhost:8080/nexus and i am able to login with default user/password. When i am running mvn deploy i am getting this error.

Here is my POM.

 <groupId>testproject</groupId>
 <artifactId>testproject</artifactId>
 <packaging>jar</packaging>
 <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
 <name>testproject</name>

Solution

  • It's working now. Need to edit ${MVN_HOME}/conf/settings.xml instead of /home/{user}/.m2/settings.xml
