I agree, Nexus is super easy to get up and run. Took me only a few hours to install and upload all our artifacts to it.

It is the only way to use maven effectively. We used maven for 2 years without a repository and in retrospect it was the one of the worst things we did. I do not know Artifactory and it may be as good as Nexus but Nexus is great. Very intuitive, easy to use. Not to hard to configure and works really well. You are doing the right thing with the repository idea. It adds a level of control and transparency that makes using Maven much better. Other free advice: 1) Resist the temptation to bend Maven. The "Maven way" is pretty clean and tidy. People do the strangest things (and get into the oddest problems) trying to take old work habits into Maven. 2) Use SNAPSHOTs and releases the way God intended. 3) RTFM. We are bad at that one but are learning how to read. Good luck. You are an the right track.
