Chapter 2. Managing artifacts
You can manage artifacts from the Artifacts page in Business Central. The artifact repository is a local Maven repository and there is only one Maven repository for each installation. Business Central recommends using Maven repository solutions like Sonatype Nexus™, Apache Archiva™, or JFrog Artifactory™.
The Artifacts page lists all the artifacts in the Maven repository. You can also upload a new artifact to the Maven repository using the Upload button.
Only *.jar, *.kjar, or pom.xml files can be uploaded to the Artifacts repository.
