[ANNOUNCE] Archiva 1.0 Beta 2 Released

[Maria Odea Ching <oc...@apache.org>]

Hi Everyone,

The Maven Archiva team is pleased to announce the release of Archiva 1.0 Beta 2.

Archiva is a build artifact repository manager for use with build
tools such as Maven, Continuum and Ant.
It has features like repository search and browse, securing
repositories, identifying unknown artifacts and reporting of
repository problems.
Aside from these, it can also act as a nearby (proxy) cache of popular
global repositories.


The latest release is now available here:

http://maven.apache.org/archiva/download.html


Below are the jira issues that were resolved for Archiva 1.0 Beta 2:
