Maybe I miss something but i can't find a way to upload a component(jar or dll) to the nexus 3 repository from the UI. So I am trying to build a tool for this job, to optimize the upload process I need a way to check if component exist in the nexus repository programmatically, all my tries to find suitable rest api failed.
Anyone have suggestions?
At this time, the REST API has been released as beta. You can get more information and give us feedback by going to this link: http://blog.sonatype.com/nexus-repository-new-beta-rest-api-for-content
You can use some of the new endpoints to check if a component/asset exists, and then use curl or something akin depending on the format to upload it via the existing format endpoints.
