Nexus REST interface

Make sure you have the REST API plugin:

<nexus_root>/nexus/index.html#plugin_console

check the documentation:

/nexus/nexus-restlet1x-plugin/default/docs/index.html

start using:

/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven?g=<group>&a=<artifact>&v=LATEST&r=<repo_id>

I did this to learn how nexus knows which artifact version is the latest. It checks the version NUMBER.
