I have downloaded the indexes generated for Maven Central from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/dot-index/nexus-maven-repository-index.gz
I would like to list the artifacts information from these index files (groupId, artifactId, version for example). I have read that there is a high level API for that. It seems that I have to use the following maven dependency. However, I don't know what is the entry point to use (which class?) and how to use it to access those files:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.sonatype.nexus</groupId>
<artifactId>nexus-indexer</artifactId>
<version>3.0.4</version>
</dependency>
