My requirement is to use Maven repository for the Enterprise Software ( What I mention on enterprise software @
http://www.sonatype.com/people/2009/02/why-putting-repositories-in-your-poms-is-a-bad-idea/) .

Can i use Nexus Open source for this purpose?

I have followed the steps in your blog, but the build get failed with the below output when using Nexus maven repository.

no revision recorded for https://BPSW00138316.apac.net.intra/svn/SPOCRepo/trunk/TestMavenRep in the previous build
