What you are referring to as a "external" repository is essentially a caching proxy. If the only repository you are proxying is central, then theoretically you could use any caching proxy server (including Apache). But if you are a single developer, I'm not sure what value you are looking to get

You should discuss this in the Nexus forum. Nexus is easy to st up and does not require a separate container. It does both internal and external with proper access control. Other repository solutions may also work but I use Nexus for my development team. Ron On 16/08/2010 4:16 AM, Trevor Ha

Your life would be much easier using a repository manager for your "internal" repository. Nexus is almost trivial to set up, for example. As for internal vs external, there is no difference, you don't need a repository manager... but your life will always be easier if you use one. -Stephen P.S.

External repository always requires a repository manager?

Hi, I've set up an "internal" repository for deploying project artifacts. It was remarkably easy to do. All I needed was some web space with SCP access. After that it was only a matter of configuring my POM's to point to the URL. No repository manager needed. Now I'd like to set up an "extern
