Using a Repository Manager
Most projects use open source software as building blocks in application development. These building blocks, referred to as Artifacts, are best obtained from Maven repositories, because these repositories store binary artifacts together with meta data to describe dependencies, licensing and locations of source code. To control what artifacts are acquired, to manage local repositories and to support their software development work-flows and policies, companies use an Artifact Repository Manager such as Nexus Professional.
