Sonatype Nexus: How to use Amazon S3 as a storage for maven artifacts?

maven amazon-s3 nexus

I've got a task to examine how to make our internal Nexus installation (installed on CentOs/RHEL) to store artifacts in Amazon S3 cloud storage (or any other cheap cloud storage).

So far, I had found only one solution - mount s3 as a file system, f.e. using s3fs. But I've met few problems using s3fs (beyond the scope of this topic).

Maybe someone already succeeded in the search of the solution for similar task, and could share the knowledge? Or maybe anyone had better ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Since version 3.12, S3 blobstore is included in nexus.

Sonatype has an open source plugin that does that:

https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-blobstore-s3

you compile it, put it on the nexus deploy directory, setup your S3 account and you're good to test it.

No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?
