Release repositories hold releases and Snapshot repositories hold snapshots. In maven a snapshot is defined as an artifact with a version ending in -SNAPSHOT.

Nexus provides a repository while Maven uses a repository to build software. Here’s a quote from “What is Nexus?”: Nexus manages software “artifacts” required for development.
