I have created a maven plugin, this is dependent on a series of JARS. i have uploaded these JARs and poms to the relevant location on the server under nexus-data/blobs/maven-thirdparty/{group-id}.
when i run a task to "Rebuild Maven repository metadata" and "Rebuild repository index" these files does not appear when i try and browse the files http://{nexus-server}:port/#browse/browse/assets.
How can i have nexus server recognize the files in the repository?
i will look to that in future. I posted this same question to Sonatype forum and they assisted me with a utility that assists with this and it worked perfectly.
