We’re making it easy to configure Nexus for High Availability. And a lot more.
Want a preview of everything coming up in Nexus 2.0? Join us on Wednesday, November 30 at 11AM EST (GMT-0500) for a 30 minute sneak preview. You’ll see how Nexus 2.0 will let you:
- Manage BOTH Java and .NET components from a single Nexus repository

Nexus Gets a Stop Button
We’ve enhanced the leading repository manager to help you develop better software faster. Nexus 1.9.2, recently released, adds a number of new features.
Stop Running Tasks
You can stop running processes immediately and no longer have to wait for them to complete. This is quite useful for recovering from high load situations. Stopping a running process is easy — just select the process and click on the cancel button (see Figure 1). You can also delete tasks without waiting for them to finish. Delete will automatically stop the process and then delete it.
Improved Maven 2 Support
You’ll get improved support for environments with both Maven 2 and Maven 3 clients. Nexus now suppresses Maven 3 metadata automatically when communicating with Maven 2 clients. This improvement allows you to use such mixed environments successfully.
Enhanced User Information
Sonatype Pro for Nexus customers can better audit who uses each Nexus server with usage information that includes userid and user agent.

Some questions about syncing Maven repositories between two sites were recently asked on GetSatisfaction.com.
“We will be moving data centers and want to setup another Maven2 repo that is managed with Nexus OSS. We want both repositories to be online and read\writeable until we migrate all our environments to the new site. I have a few questions:
- What is the best method for copying the repo to the new location?
- What is the best method for keeping the two repos in sync? We want to minimize network bandwidth usage.”
The video below answers these questions, and offers multiple solutions:
