Nexus is the shared Maven artifact repository. It's basically a cache for jars so that if your maven downloads apache-common-1.3.jar, Eric's maven won't have to go on the web to download the same jar. All developer VMs and Hudson are configured to get jars (called artifacts in maven terms) from Nexus by default.

The url for our Nexus instance is http://halsvn01:8081/nexus

The website for nexus can be found here : http://www.sonatype.org/nexus/
