You mean like you have Apache running. Nexus is just a different webserver
(well technically a servlet container - Eclipse Jetty) with a web app
running. And it has built in support for cleaning up snapshots.

I used to do what you are doing years ago and the step to using a repo
server is really small in terms of setup but huge in terms of benefits you
get. I would suggest to do that..

Considering that Maven 2 is not developed anymore and IDE integrations and
others mostly use Maven 3 I think yes you should..
