Nexus: Configure jarvana as a remote repository -- what's the URL?

Question

I'm converting an Ant build system to use a local Nexus mirror (1.3.6), and can't seem to get Nexus to proxy Jarvana repository. One of our dependencies is jython 2.5, which is available only on Jarvana.

I had no problem configuring other repository proxies, such as java.net at http://download.java.net/maven/2/

For Jarvana I've tried

www.jarvana.com/
www.jarvana.com/jarvana/
www.jarvana.com/maven2/
www.jarvana.com/maven/2/
www.jarvana.com/browse/

In all cases, the browse pane shows .index and .meta folders, and the .index is populated with nexus-maven-repository-index-* files, but searching for jython returns only the earlier (2.2 and prior) versions from Maven Central.

Am I using the wrong URL, and if so what URL should I be using?

Answer 1

Update: I did a bit more digging and it looks like the repository URL for Jarvana is http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/browse. I've just added Jarvana as a proxy repository with that URL and successfully downloaded Jython 2.5.

Answer 2

Jarvana offers maven repository search capabilities and maven repository browse capabilities, but it does not offer a direct URL for its repository files. This is because all Jarvana files come from the maven central repository, so every file in Jarvana should be available in the maven central repository.

As an example, Jython 2.5 is available in the central repository at: repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/python/jython/2.5.0/
