New official Maven Central repository in Europe
Maven Central has become an increasingly important resource for the development community at large. We’ve put several efforts forward earlier this year to help improve the content quality and to reduce the time required to get artifacts into the repository. These have matured over time and are now automatically validating artifacts. These processes are documented for Maven Projects and 3rd Party Artifacts.
To improve the experience for users in Europe, Sonatype has provisioned a new official repository in the United Kingdom. This is more than a mere mirror of Central, this system is updated in lockstep with the systems here in the US, and is managed and monitored 24×7 by Contegix, the same team watching over the US repositories. The new repository consists of two fully redundant systems running in parallel to provide complete fail-over capacity.
In addition to the new repository, we have taken several steps to improve and further secure Central itself:
Maven 3 offers "better stability and performance"
The Sonatype team is thrilled about the release of Maven 3.0, and it seems we’re not the only one. Alex Handy from Software Development Times writes about the not only the improvments and new features that the user will see with Maven 3.0, but also about the changes made behind the scenes that will improve Maven’s performance and integration down the line.
Maven 3 offers better stability and performance, but the biggest changes won’t be noticed by users. Under the hood, a great deal of work was done to prepare Maven for a future of building OSGi applications and using dynamic languages to script the build process.
