Watch this demonstration of P2 Repository support in Sonatype's Nexus Professional
Nexus Professional has support for Eclipse P2 repositories, and it can serve Eclipse plugin artifacts to tools that know how to interact with the Eclipse P2 repository format including Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede. If you use the Eclipse IDE, you probably have a set of plugins which every single developer needs to install to get productive. Using Nexus Professional, you can combine multiple Eclipse update sites into a single URL which your developers can use when they are configuring a development environment. Using Nexus Professional as a single point-of-access between your developers and the Eclipse update sites they depend on allows you to manage and define a set of common Eclipse plugins in your organization's Eclipse development environment.
This presentation and screencast will walk you through using Nexus Pro to proxy four Eclipse Update Sites and group them into a single URL that can then be used in the Eclipse IDE. Using Nexus to proxy remote Eclipse update sites saves bandwidth and time, and grouping them into a single repository group simplifies the process of setting up and configuring a standard Eclipse development environment.
