The Sonetype Nexus Professional window with alfresco java sdk artifacts

Maven needs to know about the Alfresco Artifacts Repository (Nexus) so add the following to ~/.m2/settings.xml:

<repositories>
  
    <repository>
      <id>alfresco-public</id>
      <url>https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
    </repository>
