Gerrit Artifacts are stored on Google Cloud Storage. Via the API Console the Gerrit maintainers have access to the Gerrit Code Review project. This projects host several buckets for storing Gerrit artifacts:

  • gerrit-api:

    Bucket to store the Gerrit Extension API Jar and the Gerrit Plugin API Jar.

  • gerrit-maven:

    Bucket to store Gerrit Subproject Artifacts (e.g. gwtjsonrpc etc.).

  • gerrit-plugins:

    Bucket to store Gerrit Core Plugin Artifacts.

Deploy Configuration in Maven settings.xml

To upload artifacts to a bucket the user must authenticate with a username and password. The username and password need to be retrieved from the API Console:

  • Go to the Gerrit Code Review project

  • In the menu on the left select Google Cloud Storage > Interoperable Access

  • Use the Access Key as username

  • Click under Secret on the Show button to find the password

To make the username and password known to Maven, they must be configured in the ~/.m2/settings.xml file.

  <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"

Gerrit Subprojects

  • You will need to have the following in the pom.xml to make it deployable to the gerrit-maven storage bucket:

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>gerrit-maven-repository</id>
      <name>Gerrit Maven Repository</name>
      <url>gs://gerrit-maven</url>
      <uniqueVersion>true</uniqueVersion>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>

  • Add this to the pom.xml to enable the wagon provider:

  <build>
    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>com.googlesource.gerrit</groupId>
        <artifactId>gs-maven-wagon</artifactId>
        <version>3.3</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>
  </build>

Gerrit Core Plugins

  • You will need to have the following in the pom.xml to make it deployable to the gerrit-plugins storage bucket:

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>gerrit-plugins-repository</id>
      <name>Gerrit Plugins Repository</name>
      <url>gs://gerrit-plugins</url>
      <uniqueVersion>true</uniqueVersion>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>

  • Add this to the pom.xml to enable the wagon provider:

  <build>
    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>com.googlesource.gerrit</groupId>
        <artifactId>gs-maven-wagon</artifactId>
