I would like to use Nexus or Artifactory as a repository for the components referenced by developers

Hi Steven,

I think it is out of the box feature  in RTC,  I've implemented the following method to achieve this. Once Build is done in build forge, you can add staging script to export all the binaries into Nexus/Artifactory and apache archive.

Nexus is friendlier with Maven instead of Ant Builds (if you are using ANT , you can download Nexus ANT Task Plugins from github (https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-ant-tasks). 

If you are using Jenkins, you can download and install the Nexus plugins for Jenkins and add a post build Steps, then automatically Jenkins will push the files into Nexus projects

Plugin Links are attached here
