The CLM Book - Optimized Component Lifecycle Management with Sonatype CLM

Chapter 18. Sonatype CLM for CLI

While the best integration between Sonatype CLM is through the fully supported tools (e.g. Nexus, Eclipse, and Hudson/Jenkins), any application can be evaluated against your Sonatype CLM policies simply by using Sonatype CLM for CLI (aka Stand-alone).

Before you get started, there are a few things you should make sure you have, including:

  • A general familiarity with the CLI (you don’t need to be an expert, but basic knowledge helps).
  • Installed and set up the Sonatype CLM Server
  • Set up an organization and application
  • Created or imported a policy for your application, or the organization that contains your application.
[Note]

With regard to integrating Sonatype CLM for CLI with CI servers, you should also have a familiarity with the way your particular CI utilizes build steps to launch a simple script.
