I’m also trying to add my deployed maven artfact as dependy. I also set up the GitHub CI which deployed it to the  Package Registry here:

https://github.com/TobseF/HelloMaven/packages/39042

But how to add it as dependy?

pom.xml

\<repositories\>  
 \<repository\>  
 \<id\>github\</id\>  
 \<name\>GitHub TobseF Apache Maven Packages\</name\>  
 \<url\>https://maven.pkg.github.com/TobseF/HelloMaven\</url\>  
 \<releases\>\<enabled\>true\</enabled\>\</releases\>  
 \<snapshots\>\<enabled\>true\</enabled\>\</snapshots\>  
 \</repository\>  
\</repositories\>
&lt;dependency&gt;

&lt;groupId&gt;github.tobsef&lt;/groupId&gt;

&lt;artifactId&gt;hello-maven&lt;/artifactId&gt;

&lt;version&gt;1.2.1&lt;/version&gt;

&lt;/dependency&gt;

Which did I missed? Do I also need to setup a settings.xml with credentials?

I also tried it in the project and globally in this way:

<activeProfiles>
        <activeProfile>github</activeProfile>
    </activeProfiles>
&lt;profiles&gt;
    &lt;profile&gt;
        &lt;id&gt;github&lt;/id&gt;
        &lt;repositories&gt;
            &lt;repository&gt;
                &lt;id&gt;github&lt;/id&gt;
                &lt;name&gt;GitHub TobseF Apache Maven Packages&lt;/name&gt;
                &lt;url&gt;https://maven.pkg.github.com/TobseF&lt;/url&gt;
            &lt;/repository&gt;
        &lt;/repositories&gt;
    &lt;/profile&gt;
&lt;/profiles&gt;

&lt;servers&gt;
    &lt;server&gt;
        &lt;id&gt;github&lt;/id&gt;
        &lt;username&gt;TobseF&lt;/username&gt;
        &lt;password&gt;123-my-auth-toke-123&lt;/password&gt;
    &lt;/server&gt;
&lt;/servers&gt;

But I had no succces. Did you set up the authetification an how?

Can you add my sample lib as dependency?

Best wishes,

Tobse

OK, I aso got it working, by removing the .m2/settings.xml in the project and suing the global username/.m2/settings.xml.

There I changed repository url from 

https://maven.pkg.github.com/TobseF/

to

https://maven.pkg.github.com/TobseF/HelloMaven

so I have:

<profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>github</id>
      <repositories>
			<repository>
				<id>github</id>
				<name>GitHub OWNER Apache Maven Packages</name>
				<url>https://maven.pkg.github.com/TobseF/HelloMaven</url>
				<releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
				<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
			</repository>
      </repositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
<servers>

<server>

<id>github</id>

<username>TobseF</username>

<password>123-my-toke-123</password>

</server>

</servers>

So to add a dependency, do I really need to mention every GitHub Registry depency in my global settings.xml?

At the end of the day I have to list there hundreds.

Or is it enough to set up my token for the id named github and hope everybody is using this name in their  pom.xml -good luck?

Still not working

It appears the github page showing how to set up the dependency in a maven pom.xml file simply lies 😉
Use the groupId and the artifactId from your project and it should work. At least its what I encountered:

• project which was published had the groupId set to a.b
• project which was published had the artifactId set to c.d
• after publishing the package page from GitHub lied to me that the groupId is a.b.c and the artifact id is d
• using the groupId a.b and the artifactId c.d in the dependency of another project downloaded the jar correctly

Hope it helps
