How to migrate from Sonatype Nexus 3.X OSS to Nexus 3.X Pro? - nexus

I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to migrate Nexus 3.X.X (LATEST) OSS to PRO? Have anyone done that before?

There isn't any need to migrate, all you need to do is install your license into your current Nexus 3.x OSS instance:

migrating from Apache Archiva to Nexus 3

I am trying to move all repositories I am using to Nexus 3. I use Apache Archiva as a Maven repository. I read that it's possible to copy repos between Archiva and Nexus 2. Is there any way to do the same with Nexus 3 ?
I have tried to do a workaround and succeeded. I created an instance of Nexus2 and migrated Archiva there. After that I have used the upgrade agent from Capabilities to migrate from Nexus2 to 3. Not a complicated way and is fast as well.

How to host a p2 repository on artifactory oss

I know that artifactory oss version does not support hosting p2 repositories natively.
Is it hovewer possible to do it somehow without such support? I think you cannot get a pro version for free for open source projects?
If you want to have p2 or npm repositories natively you need the Artifactory Pro version.
There are not option to have a free Artifactory pro version without support for opensource projects.
If you don't want to buy Artifactory PRO, there are free alternatives.

Nexus 2 OSS vs. Nexus 3

I operate some Docker services. Some of them are selfmade with Dockerfiles. I now want to store them into a Sonatype Nexus private repository to publish them to another server in my network.
My research half a year ago gave me Nexus 2 OSS as best option. But now Nexus 3 got released and I'm kinda confused. What version should I use? Greatest confusion is because there is no difference between Pro and OSS version anymore on Docker Hub:
sonatype/nexus has got tags oss and pro
sonatype/nexus3 has only got tags like 3.x.x
Question is: May I use Nexus 3 for free? Or will there be any costs as in Nexus 2 Pro?
Nexus Repository Manager 2 does not support Docker as a format. Nexus Repository Manager 3 does, and Docker support is a part of our OSS solution, meaning you can use Docker completely free. There is a professional version coming with 3.1 that will start to have features such as high availability, expanded enterprise support, as well as just regular support of the product.
As for the Docker images, Nexus 3 now has the ability to operate as OSS or Pro from the same bundle so you'll likely only see tags for Releases, not OSS and Pro.

Installing Flex Builder Plugin on Eclipse 3.5 (galileo) Mac Cocoa 64bit

Is there a way to get the Flex Builder plugin working on the latest Eclipse running on the Mac?
I've read that there is no hope with the Cocoa/64 bit version, but some report it works with the Carbon version.
I need the 64bit/cocoa version on the Mac in order to have access to the JDK6 libraries via the embedded maven support in the Eclipse IAM plugin.
Unfortunately Eclipse 3.5 is unsupported by Flex Builder 3. There are a few bugs for this:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-21025
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-21284
Please comment on those bugs and vote for them.
Try this one. That worked for me. I have Eclipse Galileo (3.5) and FlexBuilder 3.0
Goto your Eclipse Installation (example my installation is C:\eclipse) and there to this folder: C:\eclipse\links
Open File or create com.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.core.link and type in this text:
path=C:/Program Files/Adobe/Flex Builder 3 Plug-in
In my case the word path was missing. After that restart your Galileo and it should work.
