can some one help me. I want to setup a internal repository for maven. For this i wanted to use Apache Archiva and i'm new to both maven and archiva. My question is what is the exact difference b/w standalone and web archiva installations (i found these 2 ways in archiva documentation).
My intention is to create internal repository to be used by all developers. Every one should get dependencies from there. I have to install archiva in a server with in our organization(LAN). What is the preferable for my situation?
I found steps to install in both ways, but they are little confused as i am new to archiva. Could some one please explain me clearly?
Operating System : Windows
Maven : 3.0.5
Archiva : 1.3.6
Thanks in advance.
The standalone distribution is more easy to install. The wrapper will restart your instance in case of issues. The important part is to separate content from installation see http://archiva.apache.org/docs/1.4-M3/adminguide/standalone.html section "Separating the base from the installation"
