maven-indexer

I run my own little Maven repo for some open source. I have no dedicated server so I use a Google code repository , deploy to file system and then commit and push. Works perfect for me. But some Maven tools are looking for a nexus-maven-repository-index.properties and the index (in GZ). I would like to generate this index to get rid of the warning that it's not here Maven doesn't try the repo for artefacts that are not there. How can I do that? Is there a tool (Java main) that is able to generate an index? Also tips how to use the proper Nexus Jars with a little commandline tool are welcome.

I have downloaded the indexes generated for Maven Central from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/dot-index/nexus-maven-repository-index.gz I would like to list the artifacts information from these index files (groupId, artifactId, version for example). I have read that there is a high level API for that. It seems that I have to use the following maven dependency. However, I don't know what is the entry point to use (which class?) and how to use it to access those files: <dependency> <groupId>org.sonatype.nexus</groupId> <artifactId>nexus-indexer</artifactId> <version>3.0.4</version
