I am planning to use Nexus repository to store deployment records. I have added those records on Nexus using mvn deploy file plugin. Every file is added as a new version. These records will later be accessed by a Nexus job. The requirement is to search those records based on the last modified date. Is there a way to get this? Is there any other better way to achieve this.
I have recently started using Nexus and I am not very familiar with it.
Nexus is less based on date, and more based on GAV (Group, Artifact, Version)
If you deploy your files using to Nexus RELELASE (as opposed to snapshot), you would get use the version (X.Y.Z) to get back an artifact.
The date as a timestamp only appears on SNAPSHOT artifacts, but those can be cleaned from the referential easily and are not supposed to accumulate.
In any case, Once you have search results in Nexus, you can sort by "Age"
The Age column displays the age of the component. The age of a component is typically calculated from the initial release to a repository — typically a public repository such as the Central Repository
But you typically don't search "by date" in Nexus, only by Version.
