Developers handed power to manage internal and external repositories, tap
Maven Central Repository, world's largest binary artifact repository
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonatype, the leader in Java
development infrastructure, today announced the availability of Nexus 1.0,
their powerful Maven repository manager. Java developers will now be able
to manage both their internal repositories and access external repositories
seamlessly and quickly.
With over 50,000 main artifacts, Maven's Central Repository is the
largest binary artifact repository in the world as well as the largest
publicly available collection of project metadata. The repository averages
100 million hits a month and Maven has achieved deep penetration of the
Global 2000. Created by Sonatype, the company behind the Maven Central
Repository, Nexus is the first repository manager to allow developers to
fully harness the Maven Central Repository while providing comprehensive
management features for both internal repositories and other external Maven
repositories.
"The power and flexibility of Nexus helps organizations simplify and
speed their repository management," said Bruce Snyder, Principal Consultant
at Jailey Solutions and co-founder of the Apache Geronimo project. "The
ability to easily access project metadata, track dependencies and integrate
with IDEs will help keep their builds robust."
The open source version of the product will remain freely available
from Sonatype. Sonatype will also make available a commercial version of
the product with features tailored to enterprise development environments
and repositories, as well as enterprise-level support and services.
"Sonatype developed Nexus as a direct response to requests from the
Java developer community," said Jason van Zyl, founder and CTO of Sonatype.
"With Maven adoption skyrocketing, there was a critical need for a
comprehensive repository manager that would allow sophisticated management
of internal and external repositories while tapping the power of the Maven
Central Repository. Nexus 1.0 delivers this in spades."
Compared to other repository managers, Nexus requires a small memory
footprint, runs out of the box with no database required and can be fully
integrated with Eclipse to provide a rich development environment. Other
features include:
-- Rich UI allowing full management of repositories and contents,
including deleting artifacts and uploading artifacts directly
-- Full REST APIs
-- Repository RSS feeds for recently deployed and cached artifacts and RSS
Feeds of new artifacts, system changes, etc.
-- Full indexing and searching, including searching proxied repositories
-- Advanced Repository Proxying and Hosting, including:
-- On-the-fly repository metadata correction
-- Artifact request optimization based on groupId or artifactId
-- Creation of logical groups of proxied, or hosted repositories
accessible via a unified URL
