(For example: Maven Central) + + * a local repository for releases + + * a local repository for snapshots + + * a local repository that can contain both releases and snapshots + (see {{{Managing_Uploads_to_the_Repository_Manager}Managing Uploads to the Repository Manager}} for why this repository is needed) + + Separate local repositories are generally used for releases and snapshots + due to the need for different artifact retention policies. + + +* {Managing Downloads from the Repository Manager} + + All artifacts used by maven projects in the organization should be downloaded Review comment: Done ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
