🆕🆓M2 Repo Cleaner 1.0ß

I’ve just released a new utility for Maven Repository: M2 Repo Builder.

M2 Repo Builder is a utility that will scan your Maven repository (~/.m2/repository) and try to find old versions of libraries and old snapshots. You can then see the list and decide which files to delete. This should free up space on your hard disk.

The amount of saved space is displayed and you’re encouraged to share it with colleagues and online with #m2repocleaner.

The idea came after I added a search for old versions and snapshots in Ant Commander Pro file manager.
