The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Indexer, version 6.2.0.

Apache Maven Indexer (former Sonatype Nexus Indexer) is the de facto standard for producing indexes of Maven repositories. The Indexes are produced and consumed by all major tools in the ecosystem.

Most notable changes:

• IndexReader provides OOTB resource handlers
• Search API w/ 2 backends
• Bugs squashed

IMPORTANT: Next release planned will use the Lucene version to 9.x, and that will imply Java 11. Hence, this is the LAST planned Java 8 release of Maven Indexer.
