Since you mentioned it, and I wasn't aware that there was a standalone archiva, I decided to check it out. Firing it up with no config, just adding an admin user uses up ~130MB of ram. A standalone default Nexus config is using only ~28. Artifactory is using about ~50mb. On a server this might not be important, but on a developer machine that could be significant. In fact I never thought much about it, but we are running the public nexus instance[1] that is hosting the proxy and repositories for our two CI systems and the M2eclipse build, with the JDK default of 64mb of ram.
