Hi Laksham, I am currently using Maven Archiva which provides a Proxy repository and is probably similar to Proximity. I will definitely have a look at Proximity.
Thanks for your reply.

Firstly I used Proximity as my proxy server to create my internal repository. Then I implemented a web server to read the internal repository. The developers were provided with the web servers http link. The above approach ensured that the developers could not download any files into the internal Repository automatically. If I needed to install a new plugin/dependency I used to use the http link provided by Proximity. This would first put the files into the internal repository before installing it in my local repository. Hope this helps.
