Hello Guys,
Well we are in the process of moving over our applications/modules on maven
2 and hence setting up a maven repository, as I do so I wanted to hear your
experiences with different repository managers out there, so far I just have
explored Artifactory and uptil now I am pretty happy with the
interface(ajax-based)/functionality it provides, it's pretty light-weight,
easy-to-install/maintain. What is your opinion about it, also in terms of
performance/reliability ? and do you think there are other repository
managers which still are a better choice?
Disclaimer: I'm a developer on Archiva.
The repository managers I'm aware of are ...
* Proximity [1] - the current favorite among users here. focus seems to
be on proxy abilities.
* Artifactory [2] - the leading released contender. uses Jackrabbit
server to store its artifacts.
* DSMP [3] - (dead simple maven proxy) - a proxy for artifact requests,
an implementation that sits in the gray space between a repository
server and a proxy implementation.
* Archiva [4] - the repository manager being developed here at the
apache side, still in pre-release.
If you check the archives [5] on this mailing list, you'll likely get an
impression on the strengths and weaknesses of each repository manager
implementation. Choose what you like. They are all very vibrant and
active projects with healthy communities.
