Repository Management
-~~ TODO: definition, description, motivation for using, etc.
+* What is a Build Artifact Repository Manager
-* Repository Managers
+ The purpose of a <Maven repository> is to hold all software libraries used
within an organization. The responsibility
+ of a <Build Artifact Repository Manager> is to
+
+ 1. <<Proxy content from remote artifact repositories>>.
+
+ The proxy functionality gives increased <speed>, better <availability> and
makes it <easier find and add
+ dependencies> to their projects (no more which repo holds artifactX?).
+
+ 2. <<Share artifacts between developers>>.
+
+ The repository supports deployment of internal and external snapshots and
releases and advanced security options
+ can be to restrict access to sensitive artifacts.
+ This functionality is required to work effectively with a large number of
Maven projects and without it it is
+ hard to implement the "one deployment unit, one Maven project" concept.
+
+ 3. <<Make it easier to manage repositories and dependencies>>
+
+ The products often provide a graphical user interface that supports search
and browsing of the repositories and functionality to view/add/delete artifacts.
