History

Tamás Cservenák originally developed Proximity in 2005, because he had a slow ADSL internet connection. He was later hired by Sonatype to build a similar product, Nexus.{{Cite book |title=Maven - The Definitive Guide |publisher=O'Reilly Media |isbn=9780596551780 |chapter=Chapter 16: Repository Manager}}
