AIUI, Nexus offers a staging facility, which Archiva does not (or did not at the time - maybe it does now). i.e. it allows the artifacts to be uploaded to a public location, which can be used for the release vote. If the vote succeeds, publish the staged repo; if it fails, drop it. There's no danger of accidentally releasing Maven artifacts that have not been voted on (as happened in Commons about a year ago before that component used Nexus). > Now that we have Nexus, I won't fight such wars again and again.
