Install obr plugin in Nexus

I would like to install the Nexus-obr-plugin GitHub in my Nexus oss 2.10.0-02.

The OBR-plugin seems not to be shipped in the Standard Nexus OSS. I could find the jar Version of this plugin http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.sonatype.nexus.plugins/nexus-obr-plugin/2.10.0-02.

I looked at the other Plugins shipped with Nexus, every plugin seems to be in a folder containing the jar,Manifestfile (under META-INF) and required dependencies.

I placed the jar in the folder plugin-repository/nexus-obr-plugin-2.10.0-02/nexus-obr-plugin-2.10.0-02.jar. Downloaded required dependecies in the dependencies folder:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>
  <artifactId>org.osgi.core</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
  <artifactId>org.osgi.service.obr</artifactId>
</dependency>

and created a MANIFEST File, based on other MANIFEST Files from other Nexus Plugins. With this I managed to start Nexus without Errors and the Plugin Console states that the OBR-Plugin is Activated. But there is no OBR Provider available under 'Create new Hosted repository'.

Is there a good explanation how to install the obr plugin and where can the plugin with all dependencies and MANIFEST File be downloaded?

You need to install the bundle folder rather than just the jar file. These can be downloaded in zip format from the sonatype repository:

https://repository.sonatype.org

For the 2.10.0-02 OBR bundle you'll find it here:

https://repository.sonatype.org/service/local/repo_groups/forge/content/org/sonatype/nexus/plugins/nexus-obr-plugin/2.10.0-02/nexus-obr-plugin-2.10.0-02-bundle.zip

unzip that to the plugin-repository folder and restart nexus.
