The importance of Central:

"One of the selling points of maven is it's dependency mechanism. You say what code you need, and maven makes sure it's there for you. The magic behind this is called central. It's a phenomenal collection of software (much akin to Perl's CPAN)."

Nexus vs. Artifactory
"There are multiple reasons for us to use a repository manager:

  • Unified access to repositories

  • Finer grained access control

  • Automated creation of the Nexus index

  • Web based artifact search"
