Artifactory offers several benefits as a Maven repository, such as tagging artifacts with custom properties and storing build metadata, but one of its standout features is its integration with Jenkins for Maven deployments. With the release of version 3.6.1 of the Jenkins Artifactory Plugin, Maven deployments can now be executed in parallel, significantly reducing build times. Users can customize the number of threads used for deploying Maven artifacts, with the default set at three, but this can be adjusted within pipeline code. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for builds that create and deploy a large number of artifacts, as it can reduce deployment time to a third of what it previously was. The update supports both declarative and scripted syntax, allowing users to easily integrate this feature into existing pipelines.
