Nexus Repository Manager OSS and Nexus Repository Manager Pro are widely used in a large variety of organizations for numerous use cases.

Integrating the repository manager and expanding its features is encouraged and enabled by the availability of Nexus Repository Manager OSS under the Eclipse Public License, the REST API and the support for plugins as part of the repository manager itself, including writing your own plugins.

A number of tools are available to facilitate the community of users.

Source Code

The Nexus Repository Manager OSS codebase is a great reference for your development of custom integrations and plugins.
