You might like + to explore the user and administrator guides to find other functionality. + + The default configuration for Archiva configures two repositories: + + * <<>> - a repository for containing released artifacts. This is connected by proxy to the central repository, so requests here will + automatically retrieve the remote artifacts. + + * <<>> - a repository for storing deployed snapshots. This is not proxied to any remote repositories by default. + + In addition, the guest user has read access to these repositories, so you can make anonymous requests to either. To try this out, point a web browser at the following URL: + {{{http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/internal/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.jar}}}. Though the artifact is not present locally, you will see in the Archiva logs that it is + downloaded from the central repository, and then handed back to the browser and downloaded from Archiva. Future requests for the artifact will be much faster as they need not be + downloaded from the central repository. + + Once this artifact is downloaded, Archiva automatically indexes it, so you can access it's information at the following URL: {{{http://localhost:8080/archiva/browse/junit/junit/3.8.1/}}}. + It will also be available from the search interface. +
