The Sonatype Nexus Repository 1.0.0-beta-3.1 release brings several new features and enhancements to the already stable beta-2:

Maven 1 proxy capability with the ability to group Maven 1 repositories along with Maven 2 in the same group.
Connection and validation error handling in the UI.
Checksum search to identify unknown JARs.
Deployment security.
Many bug fixes and other enhancements.

The source for Nexus is also available in a public Subversion repository.

    &lt;repositories&gt;
      &lt;repository&gt;
        &lt;id&gt;forge&lt;/id&gt;
        &lt;url&gt;http://repository.sonatype.org:8081/
nexus/content/groups/maven-eclipse&lt;/url&gt;
          &lt;snapshots&gt;
            &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
          &lt;/snapshots&gt;
          &lt;releases&gt;
            &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
