    Description

      It would be quite useful if one could create a "latest" symlink in nexus so it would always point to latest released version of an artifact.

      This would be especially handy for distribution artifacts, like:
      https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/org/jboss/windup/windup-distribution/latest/ (N/A now)

      insted of

      https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/org/jboss/windup/windup-distribution/2.0.0.Beta6/

      I can imagine 2 ways:
      1) Regularly updated soft links in the repo's file system
      2) Through URL handling, always parsing the Maven meta info XML in the directory containing the versions directories, and replacing "/latest" with "/<latest-version-found>".
