Well, Artifactory actually started out as a series as patches on m2proxy and ended in a complete rewrite of it. The extras that we did came from real world requirements.
The old m2proxy might still answer your every need in your development environment, and that's fine. Artifactory is used today by a couple of very large distributed development environments and that's where it really makes a difference. It offers everything that m2proxy used to offer + enterprise features such as:
- Ability to deploy a mesh of proxies, each site proxying another.
- Enhanced security for controlling who can deploy/undeploy to where.
- Multiple local repositories support with control on what can be deployed to each repo, either by include/exclude patterns or by snapshot/releases.
- Optional authenticated download of artifacts from local repositories
- Web based deployment, including extraction a pom embedded in a deployed jar for a single transaction deployment of both jar and its pom.
- HTTP(s) or WebDav deployment
- Advanced indexing
- Much improved web UI
There's a more detailed feature description at: http://www.jfrog.org/sites/artifactory/latest/introduction.html

Interesting. To this date, there's at least maven-proxy (
http://maven-proxy.codehaus.org/), Proximity (
http://proximity.abstracthorizon.org/), Archiva (
http://maven.apache.org/archiva/) and now, Artifactory, for more of less the
same purpose. They are all Apache2 type licensed. We still use maven-proxy,
and while it's only at version 0.2 and its development has stopped, we
haven't seen any issues with it. Are any of these based on other's codebase
or separate efforts and does anybody have any idea what the practical
differences between all these are to the end user?
