Steve Button's blog post on The Buttso Blathers details his experience with the newly released JFrog Artifactory 3.5.1, highlighting its compatibility with the Oracle Maven Repository. The update involved configuring a remote repository using a straightforward process, which required setting up a proxy for firewall navigation, adding a remote repository with specific credentials, and adjusting advanced settings for proper host authentication and cookie management. After configuring these settings, Button tested the setup with a Maven project, confirming that dependencies were successfully fetched through the Artifactory server and locally cached for future use. He also discovered that the Artifactory Web UI provides useful features such as search functionality and a repository browser for navigating the Oracle Maven Repository. Button appreciated the quick support from the JFrog Artifactory team and suggested enabling password encryption to secure credentials stored in configuration files.
