nexus commandline search

gistfile1.sh

#!/bin/bash

# command line search script for nexus instances. Needs curl and xmlstarlet
# installed.

NEXUS_URL="http://nexus.example.com/nexus/service/local/lucene/search?q="

# make sure we got exactly one param 
if [ ! $# -eq 1 ] 
then
    echo "usage nexus-search <term>"
    exit 1
fi

curl -s  $NEXUS_URL$1 | xmlstarlet sel -T -t -m /searchNGResponse/data/artifact \
    -v "groupId" -o " "\
    -v "artifactId"  -o " "  \
    -v "version" -n  

maven-deps.awk

#!/usr/bin/awk -f

# simple AWK script to be used with nexus-search script to convert the results
# into maven-compatible dependency statements

{ printf("<dependency>\n    <groupId>%s</groupId>\n    <artefactId>%s</artefactId>\n    <version>%s</version>\n</dependency>\n\n", $1, $2, $3) }

cool, exactly what I was looking for :) I will try to create awk script to convert this basic output to '...'

usage: nexus-search | maven-deps.awk

I think that it does not work with Nexus v3.x
