Re: nexus, local repository, and m2eclipse
Maybe a good idea is to put a pointer to the nexus list in the most obvious place(s) people would look in the Maven on-line docs, saying something like for questions about Nexus, please post to the Nexus mailing list(s) found here. That way, users would get just in time education :-). -Marshall Schor On 8/23/2010 4:02 PM, Wayne Fay wrote: I didn't know there was a nexus list. Thanks. This happens often.

But Nexus is not the only MRM around, so should the Maven docs include links to all MRM tools each time the subject comes up? Eventually you have to expect that intelligent people can figure out what tool is the cause of a given issue and send email to the proper place, right? I think the problem is simply that it is hard for relatively new people to figure out where the lines are drawn, which is what Chad said. For those of us who have been using these tools for a while, it is pretty obvious. Perhaps we could adjust the mailing software that runs this list so emails go through a bot before being distributed. If the word Nexus (and other words) is mentioned more than once or if its in the subject, then the bot replies back with are you sure you didn't mean to send this to the Nexus list? and requires a confirmation before forwarding it on to the Maven Users group. ;-) Wayne - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org

A Bot?

It is just that this forum is so full of talented people that there is no need to visit any other web sites ;-) . Ron On 23/08/2010 4:02 PM, Wayne Fay wrote: I didn't know there was a nexus list.

Re: nexus, local repository, and m2eclipse
I'm trying to use nexus to serve a 3rd party dependency. Following the nexus book, I was able to upload the artifact with out incident.

Re: nexus, local repository, and m2eclipse
I think the issue is that the boundaries between maven, sonatype, m2eclipse, nexus, etc. are a bit unclear to the unitiated, i.e. me.
