There isn't any particular reason for moving off of Nexus. We have Nexus as its the most common repository manager used. I want to do an evaluation before we make the decision to go with one or the other and whether to get the paid version or stick to the free version. Archiva, Artifactory, and Nexus are my choices. Part of the evaluation will be to take a look at our processes, see where and how we can leverage a repository manager.
Currently we use something that was written internally earlier this century, in JHTML and JSP, which hasn't been updated since and is difficult to update and maintain. I want to modernise by shifting things away from the home grown solution. We've got groups using Ant, Maven, and homegrown Perl based build tools, and Make, and I have no idea what else is lurking out there. Some of those will need ways to upload to the repository manager. That's the back story to it. On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Glenn Brown <ghbrown60...@gmail.com> wrote: > I would not recommend Archiva.
