Many JBoss projects, including JGroups, Javaassist, Netty, Hibernate, HornetQ, RestEasy, jBPM and Drools are now included in the Central Repository with more expected to be added in coming months. You’ll be able to easily locate and use these projects in a single, standard location.

The Sonatype team worked closely with JBoss Community project teams to evaluate legacy repositories, cleanup metadata and coalesce disparate content into a single site. Providing transparent, streamlined access to important project artifacts in the Central Repository further accelerates the development process and enables the JBoss Community to more rapidly provide its open source technologies to users.

The Central Repository is the industry-leading source for open source Java components used by over 40,000 development organizations daily. Sonatype has been working to expand the number of components available in Central.  By adding the JBoss projects and the Java.net projects announced last month, we expect the Central Repository to offer you access to more than 90 percent of all open source Java projects by the end of this year.

Read more in our press release.

Java.net projects such as GlassFish and others are now included in the Central Repository, making it easier than ever for you to locate and download Java.net components without the workarounds or advanced configurations previously required. You’ll be able to leverage Java.net project assets to deliver applications faster, at a higher quality, and with less risk.

The Sonatype team worked closely with Oracle during the past year to evaluate existing Java.net legacy repositories, clean-up metadata and unite disparate content into a single site.   Java.net project owners can now easily automate and control synchronization of their project artifacts to the Central Repository through a hosted version of Sonatype Pro™ for Nexus donated by Sonatype to the project.

Read more about this exciting move in our press release and this article in Dr. Dobbs.

To improve the experience for users in Europe, Sonatype has provisioned a new official repository in the United Kingdom. This is more than a mere mirror of Central, this system is updated in lockstep with the systems here in the US, and is managed and monitored 24×7 by Contegix, the same team watching over the US repositories. The new repository consists of two fully redundant systems running in parallel to provide complete fail-over capacity.

In addition to the new repository, we have taken several steps to improve and further secure Central itself:

• A new system has replaced Central as the inbound processing engine. On this staging system, we can now vet inbound artifacts for quality and other parameters before publishing them to repo1 and Europe. It also serves as a hot standby for the US repository.
• We’ve worked with Contegix to implement additional layered security around the repository machines themselves.
• There is a new Jira project to manage any and all concerns and issues with Central, the Mirrors, Content, etc
• We are working to setup another official Central Repository in Asia soon

The new repository is live at http://uk.maven.org/maven2/ if you’re using a repository manager, just replace references to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 with the new url. If you’re not, you should be (Whitepapers: Intro to Repository Management / Stages of Repository Adoption), but until you get a repository manager in place, add the following to your settings.xml:

<mirrors> <mirror> <id>uk</id> <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf> <url>http://uk.maven.org/maven2/</url> </mirror> </mirrors>

Stackoverflow: Building a Maven project that has mixed Java/Scala source Even since I stumbled upon the first Lift tutorials, I’ve been impressed with the work that has been put into the Maven Scala plugin. This question and answer is a snapshot of the Maven community. More and more people are chiming in to help, and we’re seeing fewer trolls as the tools and the ecosystem around Maven continue to improve. Note that someone references our (still in development Maven Handbook) in this answer. On Stackoverflow

We certainly keep an eye on Maven-related questions on Stackoverflow, and we’ve been noticing an increase in m2eclipse questions. Here are more questions from Stackoverflow…

• Maven archetypes not appearing in m2eclipse Nexus indexer – My answer to Ian was “upgrade to 0.9.9 and make use of the new Maven repositories view”.
• Running a single test method with Maven

If you use Maven, please consider taking some time to help us answer questions on Stackoverflow. Bookmark this search for the newest Maven-related questions.

Sonatype Maven Meetup will focus on technologies centered around development infrastructure, offering talks and workshops led by core contributors and package maintainers. Sessions in two tracks will cover tools as the Apache Maven build and release manager, Hudson continuous integration engine, Nexus repository manager, Sonar quality server and other technologies widely used by software developers around the world.

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).” August 23rd, 2009 by Dominic Mitchell

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

• Unified access to repositories

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

now is a great time to be building an open-source company. Software continues to have to be built and companies will be even more motivated to look for efficiency and cost savings during this downturn. Maven delivers that and Sonatype helps companies adopt Maven with products and expertise. There is no better place in the world to come for support and training for Maven.

Read John Fontana’s Story in the New York Times here. In the article, Fontana talks about the three major features in this initial version of Nexus Professional:

• Procurement: The ability to control which artifacts are allowed into a repository with a series of inclusion and exclusion rules. Procurement is essential if you want to control what can get into an organization from a 3rd party proxy repository. It is also essential if you want to create something of a “firewall” between your development repository and a clean room release repository.
• Staging: With Nexus Professional, you can group a collection of artifacts together in a staged repository that can be promoted to a hosted repository as a group. The concept of the “staged” repository makes it possible to have more intelligent “workflow” in a software release, you can cut a release, deploy it to Nexus, and then put it in a holding area for QA to certify.
• LDAP Integration: Sonatype delivers a highly configurable LDAP Authentication Realm that was designed to work with the largest, most diverse organizational structures modeled in an enteprise LDAP server. With Sonatype Professional’s LDAP Auth realm you can map any existing user and group structure in LDAP to natives roles within Nexus
