AFAIK it's the same. AIUI the artifacts are still deployed to the same distribution area. Nexus copies them across when the RM releases the staging repo, rather than the RM doing the copy directly. BTW, Nexus takes care of maintaining the Maven metadata. It also checks that the signature is valid and uses a public key (I think this is done on Close) I think it also creates hashes if required. See http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html and linked docs for some more info on Nexus. > Yoav > >> >> Personally, my only requirements are: >> a) that the JARs reach Maven Central >> b) publishing is as simple as running a single script >> >> I don't particularly care about the details.
