Utilities for generating index files from Nexus metadata databases

Maven Central Index

Since OSSRH-60950, nexus-repository-indexer provides a way to build a fixed version of the nexus-maven-repository-index.gz Maven Central Index (ref. Central Index) without module and pom.512 files but with the right JAR files inside.
The nexus-maven-repository-index.gz Maven Central Index can either be downloaded from nightly build or built locally.
Check the next paragraphs for both the options.
