Archiva vs. Nexus
Are archiva and nexus competing or complementary products?

I always opt for 8.3 filename e.g.
dir /AD /X
C:/PROGRA~1
Nexus jettyServlet allow you to site:deploy index.html,css,js,jpg,png (to show the suits what you're working on)
Many Thanks for your extraordinary help mate!

I have never used Nexus, but this "error" seem like a classic windows "long
file names" issue
- I suggest you specify C:\program~\Sonatype\ .... instead of C:\Program
Files\Sonatype\...
Alternatively surround long file names/paths with quotes
- not sure if this is part of the standard installation or if this would
force you to tweak nexus under the hood configurations
I use Archiva and it's brilliant - just moved to 2.0.1 that seem a little
buggy though - lost the user db as part of the upgrade that forced me to
re-create all users and access levels under the new installation.
v1.3.6 is very stable and earlier upgrades have worked without any issues
v2.0.n now support stagings but only operates on the entire repository -
Archiva is working on future enhancements to this where individual releases
can be merged.

OK, so it is a bug, the correct way to start it is to go to the actual
directory and run
nexus.bat
without any parameters. Things seems to start up, but when I go to
http://localhost:8081 I get
HTTP ERROR: 404
Problem accessing /. Reason:
NOT_FOUND
Powered by Jetty://
I do have an open mind to issues, which is why I reported it on JIRA -
I'm just saying first impressions are very important.

I'd run it from a directory that does not contain spaces or other non alphanumeric characters. Yours has two spaces, one of each different parenthesis, and a ">" in it.
Nexus is a very robust and easy to use installation that gets a lot of attention. You are not "supposed to waste time on installing it", but having an open mind to issues that are often found in cross-platform software is helpful. Especially when you are running it on Windows.

This is a bug, it is sure.
Probably due to spaces in your path (programs don't love them in general).

So I downloaded Nexus 1.9.2, watched the video, read the user manual on
starting Nexus, entered
C:\Program Files
(Open)\Sonatype\nexus-oss-webapp-1.9.2-bundle\nexus-oss-webapp-1.9.2>bin\jsw\windows-x86-64\nexus
start
and got back
FATAL | wrapper | Unable to open configuration file. C:\Program Files
(Open)\Sonatype\nexus-oss-webapp-1.9.2-bundle\nexus-oss-webapp-1.9.2\start
Press any key to continue . . .
First impressions are very important - this one was pretty bad. How much
time am I supposed to waste now trying to figure out how to actually
start Nexus?
Maybe Archiva actually works according to the documentation...

My 2 cents: I'm very new to Maven and its repository and I found Nexus very
easy to install, set up, and use. I haven't tried Archiva though

Is it easy to move a Nexus repository from one system to the next? I was
thinking of using my personal workstation to host Nexus, because it is
more powerful than any server we have, and I don't want to have to go
find a server with spare cycles.
Would it make more sense for me to create a VMWare virtual machine
called 'nexus' and run it there? That way if I want to move the
repository to another machine I can move the VM. Does anyone have any
preconfigured VMs with Nexus already installed?
If I am running in a VM, would it make more sense to run it with Linux
so I don't have to pay for another Windows License?
Cheers, Eric

I am really happy with Nexus but have not tried Archiva.
Follow the installation procedure carefully as it has some bits about
directories that are not intuitive.
If you pay attention to the instructions, you will not have any problems.
The user interface is very simple and easy to understand.
The support is very good in the Nexus forum and to a certain extent here
as well.
Documentation is clear and abundant.
Good Luck.

I must say, I don't know either technology that well, but after looking
around Nexus seems to have the more favorable reviews. I'll probably try
Nexus first given I am already using m2e and Sonatype seem to document
things well.
Thanks for that clarity everyone.
Cheers, Eric

It works fine just as long as your minimal configuration doesn't
include Java 6. There's a bug[1] hanging out there for almost a year
now which prevents Archiva from being useful for me and a lot of
others.
That being the case, Nexus all the way.

There are 10 types of people in this world, those

They are competing and Apache Archiva works just fine with minimal
configuration.
