I am trying to load large artifacts into a Nexus repository. At first,
Maven crashed with an OOME if I tried to load anything larger than about 70MB. So I upped Maven's max heap to 1024MB, and now I can upload a file of about 240MB. I actually want to load a much larger artifact. By the way, I am using the Maven Deploy Plugin with the deploy:deploy-file goal.
Nexus has no problems with large artifacts. Through its UI (i.e., via a browser) I uploaded a 3.3GB artifact. Took a few minutes, but it uploaded just fine.
Has anyone else worked with large (>1GB) artifacts in Nexus and Maven? (Going to a 64-bit machine for Maven so that I can set up a 16GB heap is not the solution I am looking for...
)
