Is it easy to move a Nexus repository from one system to the next? I was
thinking of using my personal workstation to host Nexus, because it is
more powerful than any server we have, and I don't want to have to go
find a server with spare cycles.
Would it make more sense for me to create a VMWare virtual machine
called 'nexus' and run it there? That way if I want to move the
repository to another machine I can move the VM. Does anyone have any
preconfigured VMs with Nexus already installed?
If I am running in a VM, would it make more sense to run it with Linux
so I don't have to pay for another Windows License?
Cheers, Eric

I must say, I don't know either technology that well, but after
looking around Nexus seems to have the more favorable reviews. I'll
probably try Nexus first given I am already using m2e and Sonatype
seem to document things well.
I am really happy with Nexus but have not tried Archiva.
Follow the installation procedure carefully as it has some bits about
directories that are not intuitive.
If you pay attention to the instructions, you will not have any problems.
The user interface is very simple and easy to understand.
The support is very good in the Nexus forum and to a certain extent
here as well.
Documentation is clear and abundant.
Good Luck.

Thanks for that clarity everyone.

It works fine just as long as your minimal configuration doesn't
include Java 6. There's a bug[1] hanging out there for almost a year
now which prevents Archiva from being useful for me and a lot of
others.
That being the case, Nexus all the way.

They are competing and Apache Archiva works just fine with minimal
