Upload artifacts to Nexus, without Maven

I have a non-Java project that produces a versioned build artifact, and I want to upload this to a Nexus repository. Because the project isn't Java, it doesn't use Maven for builds. And I'd rather not introduce Maven/POM files just to get files into Nexus.

The links on blogs to the Nexus REST API all end up at a sign-in wall, with no "create user" link that I can see.

So, what's the best (or any reasonable) way to upload build artifacts to a Nexus repository without Maven? "bash + curl" would be great, or even a Python script.

You can manually upload the artifact's by clicking on upload artifacts button in the Nexus server and provide the necessary GAV properties for uploading(it's generally the file structure for storing the artifact)

@Adam Vandenberg For Java code to POST to Nexus. https://github.com/manbalagan/nexusuploader

public class NexusRepository implements RepoTargetFactory {

    String DIRECTORY_KEY= "raw.directory";
    String ASSET_KEY= "raw.asset1";
    String FILENAME_KEY= "raw.asset1.filename";

    String repoUrl;
    String userName;
    String password;

    @Override
    public void setRepoConfigurations(String repoUrl, String userName, String password) {
        this.repoUrl = repoUrl;
        this.userName = userName;
        this.password = password;
    }

    public String pushToRepository() {
        HttpClient httpclient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
        HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(repoUrl) ;
        String auth = userName + ":" + password;
        byte[] encodedAuth = Base64.encodeBase64(
                auth.getBytes(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1));
        String authHeader = "Basic " + new String(encodedAuth);
        postRequest.setHeader(HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION, authHeader);
        try
        {
            byte[] packageBytes = "Hello. This is my file content".getBytes();
            MultipartEntityBuilder multipartEntityBuilder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();
            InputStream packageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(packageBytes);
            InputStreamBody inputStreamBody = new InputStreamBody(packageStream, ContentType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM);
            multipartEntityBuilder.addPart(DIRECTORY_KEY, new StringBody("DIRECTORY"));
            multipartEntityBuilder.addPart(FILENAME_KEY, new StringBody("MyFile.txt"));
            multipartEntityBuilder.addPart(ASSET_KEY, inputStreamBody);
            HttpEntity entity = multipartEntityBuilder.build();
            postRequest.setEntity(entity); ;

            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(postRequest) ;
            if (response != null)
            {
                System.out.println(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace() ;
        }
        return null;
    }
