Migrating to Nexus Repository 2

If you have been running another repository manager, such as Artifactory, Archiva, or Proximity, and you want to migrate this repository to Nexus Repository Manager Pro or Nexus Repository Manager OSS, you can do so by copying the files from a standard Maven 2 repository file layout to the storage.

Depending on your repository managers, you will have to use different approaches to get access to a repository in Maven 2 format on disk.

Nexus Repository Manager Pro and Nexus Repository Manager OSS store its components in standard Maven 2 layout, and they are served directly from disk, and can therefore be easily integrated into an existing Nexus Repository Manager instance as a new hosted repository.
