2.2.5. Install the JBoss EAP 6 Maven Repository Using Nexus Maven Repository Manager

There are three ways to install the repository; on your local file system, on Apache Web Server, or with a Maven repository manager. This option is best if you have a licences and already use a repository manager because you can host the JBoss repository alongside your existing repositories. For more information about Maven repository managers, see Section 2.2.6, “About Maven Repository Managers”.
