-Repository Management with Maven Repository Managers
+The List of Repository Managers
+
+ The Following is a list of the known Maven repository managers and listed in chronological order of appearance in the community:
+
+* {{{http://nexus.sonatype.org}Proximity/Nexus: Maven Repository Manager}}
+
+ Anyone who was using Proximity is now encouraged to use Nexus. The entire codebase of Proximity was absorbed into Nexus and
+ Nexus provides a migration path for all Proximity users.
+
+ Tamas Cservenak started working on Proximity in December 2005 as he was trying to find a way to isolate his own systems from an
+ incredibly slow ADSL connection provided by a Hungarian ISP. Proximity started as a simple web application to proxy artifacts for
+ a small organization with connectivity issues. Creating a local on-demand cache for Maven artifacts from the central Maven repository
+ gave an organization access to the artifacts on the Central Maven Repository, but it also made sure that these artifacts weren't
+ downloaded over a very slow ADSL connection used by a number of developers. In 2007, Sonatype asked Tamas to help create a similar
+ product named Nexus. Nexus is currently considered the logical next step to Proximity. Nexus currently has an active development team,
+ and portions of the indexing code from Nexus are also being used in {{{http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/}m2eclipse}}
+
+* {{{http://www.jfrog.org/sites/artifactory/latest/}Artifactory}}
+
+ Artifactory is a Maven 2 enterprise repository. It offers advanced proxying, caching and security facilities to provide a
+ robust, reproducible and independent build environment when using Maven. Artifactory is being used by clients ranging from
+ small startup teams to international corporate teams employing distributed development, thus improving the development
+ experience for tens of thousands of developers. Artifactory exposes a robust artifacts management platform using rich Ajax
+ web UI and can be run out-of-the-box with a simple "unzip and launch".
+
+* {{{http://archiva.apache.org/}Apache Archiva}}
+
+ Apache Archiva is an extensible repository management software that helps taking care of your own personal or enterprise-wide build artifact repository. It
+ is the perfect companion for build tools such as Maven, Continuum, and ANT.
+
+ Archiva offers several capabilities, amongst which remote repository proxying, security access management, build artifact storage,
+ delivery, browsing, indexing and usage reporting, extensible scanning functionality... and many more!
+
+* {{{http://www.pdark.de/dsmp/}Dead Simple Maven Proxy}}
+
+ DSMP is a proxy. It can be used as a repository server but it's main purposs it to act as a filter when Maven accesses the internet. If you need a repository server, use Archiva.
+
+
+Why do I need a Repository Manager?
Maven Repository managers serve two purposes: they act as highly configurable proxies between your organization and the public Maven repositories
and they also provide an organization with a deployment destination for your own generated artifacts.

with such a deployment target. Once you install a Maven repository manager, you can start using Maven to deploy snapshots and releases to a custom repository managed
by the repository manager. Over time, this central deployment point for internal projects becomes the fabric for collaboration between different development teams.
