Releases Repository
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Akka Maven repository can be found at http://repo.akka.io/releases/.

Typesafe provides http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/ that proxies
several other repositories, including akka.io.  It is convenient to use the
Typesafe repository, since it includes all external dependencies of Akka.  It is
a "best-effort" service, and if it is unavailable you may need to use the
underlying repositories directly.

* http://repo.akka.io/releases/

* http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/

Snapshots Repository
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nightly builds are available in http://repo.akka.io/snapshots/ and proxied through
http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/ as both ``SNAPSHOT`` and
timestamped versions.

For timestamped versions, pick a timestamp from
http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/com/typesafe/akka/akka-actor_@binVersion@/.
All Akka modules that belong to the same build have the same timestamp.

sbt definition of snapshot repository
-------------------------------------

Make sure that you add the repository to the sbt resolvers::

  resolvers += "Typesafe Snapshots" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/"

Define the library dependencies with the timestamp as version. For example::

    libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-remote_@binVersion@" % 
      "2.1-20121016-001042"

maven definition of snapshot repository
---------------------------------------

Make sure that you add the repository to the maven repositories in pom.xml::

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>typesafe-snapshots</id>
      <name>Typesafe Snapshots</name>
      <url>http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/snapshots/</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
  </repositories>  

Define the library dependencies with the timestamp as version. For example::

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.typesafe.akka</groupId>
      <artifactId>akka-remote_@binVersion@</artifactId>
      <version>2.1-20121016-001042</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
