Hi Julien, There are multiple ways to achieve that. Do you wish to create a local archiva for test use, or an enterprise scale archiva hosted over intranet and make it available to more than one systems for development? It is worth noting that Archiva is designed to proxy the artifacts into your local .m2 repository from Maven central repository or any other remote repository through Proxy connectors via Managed Repositories, and cache these artifacts. You can disable remote repository proxying and have a controlled, locked down repository where you can manually upload artifacts either through UI or programatically.
There are few key things you might want to look: Archiva UI - proxy connectors, Managed repositories, user & role to access the repository Local Maven settings.xml - should have <mirrors>, <servers> and <repositories> tag. The book I would suggest worth reading Apache Maven 2 Implementation - http://www.packtpub.com/apache-maven-2-effective-implementations/book This books gives lot of ideas in implementing & using Archiva to suit development, very useful when I had to setup Archiva for a large scale development env.
