More good news, Nexus 2.11.2 is now available and supports proxying the Oracle Maven Repository, in both the OSS and Pro versions. You can find all the details here including a video demonstration.
The Sonatype guys, especially Manfred Moser (@simpligility) have been great to work with, and if you are not sure which repository to use, I would certainly encourage you to look at Nexus. They certainly seem to be easy to work with, listen to their users, are willing to collaborate and support the community.
