Archiva is a repository manager which is necessary for development in Maven for 2 purposes.
1. Add your own dependencies to the repository in Archiva in case if they are not found in the public Maven repository like http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
2. Save time for downloading dependencies as they are cached in the Archiva repository
