title: Creating/Accessing Maven repository in SVN through NetBeans 6.7 *Revised*
body: <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Ok... so I've gathered that SVN shouldn't really be used for this... which makes sense, I suppose (why version individual files when the version should be a separate jar?).</p>
  
  <p>So we should use an internal server to host a repository management tool like Nexus (etc), and access that over http to pull down and put out dependencies. We are keeping our projects in SVN now. What is the standard for deployments? Dependencies go into Maven. Projects go into SVN. Should we ignore the dist and build folders? Where would our WAR files get deployed from?</p>
  
  <p><em>OLD QUESTION</em> (for posterity)</p>
  
  <p>I'm brand new to Maven and don't know <em>jack</em> about it. I'm trying to evaluate it to see how it will do with our Java development. </p>
  
  <p>I would like to have a Maven repository in our SVN server so that dependencies can be pulled down from there using NetBeans 6.7. I have not been able to find how to do this throughout many google and stackoverflow searches.</p>
  
  <p>What are the best practices here? I'm thinking that we'd want to download dependencies using svn+ssh, but most things online seem to point to using http.</p>
  
  <p>Fill my brain with great things!</p>
