So I abandoned this before actually rolling it out to users. But I’ve just had a quick look to see if it works better in a more recent version of artifactory.
The process I just followed:
- Login to artifactory as an administrator
- Go to the admin tab (click the cogs on the left nav bar)
- Select Repositories > Repositories
- Select remote
- Click + New remote repository
- Configure along these lines
- Go back into the main (non admin window). Artifactory > Artifacts. You should see a new entry in the tree for your remote p2 site
- Select the p2 site
- Click ‘Set me up’ and you’ll be shown the URL to use as the P2 site when you try to install new software
- This should now work in the KNIME Install New Software window
It doesn’t seem to show with jars have been cached though.
