Oracle repository for leiningen

A Leiningen plugin for connecting to the oracle maven repository.

Oracle maven repository contains oracle closed source components e.g. oracle jdbc drivers.

The problem of this repository is that

• It requires authentication using OTN user account
• The authentication is implemented using Oracle Access Management product (OAM)

Oracle calls this enterprise-grade SSO solution, which actually means unnecessary complicated bullshit.

The authentication requires special tweaks to HTTPWagon see http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/core/MAVEN/config_maven_repo.htm#MAVEN9015.

This leiningen plugin provides a special repository protocol oam11g. This protocol uses a configured HTTPWagon, which can access to the oracle repository.

Usage

You have to be familiar with basic concepts in leiningen.

Add this plugin (definition below) into the project :plugins vector.

Add oracle repository definition: ["oracle" {:url "oam11g://maven.oracle.com"}] into the project :repositories vector.

Add OTN account authentication information i.e. a user name and a password. The simplest option is to add this information in plain text to ~/.lein/profiles.clj e.g.

{:auth {:repository-auth {#"oracle" {:username "scott" :password "tiger"}}}}

All possible options (e.g. encryption) are defined in https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/stable/doc/DEPLOY.md#authentication

Instructions to OTN account registration can be found from here.
