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.

There's a night build that creates ever day an update version of the nexus-maven-repository-index.gz Maven Central Index.
From the "Create fixed Maven Central Index" runs list select the latest run.
In the details page download the nexus-maven-repository-index.gz from the Artifacts section.

   $ mvn -f indexer/pom.xml install
5. build the index
