Hm... just a side observation: I ended up writing something similar
myself, a very simple one:
 https://github.com/steinarb/maven-repository-snapshot-pruner

I use it to prune snapshots from my own maven repository.

My entry level VPS (Virtual Private Server) in the cloud, wasn't big
enough to run nexus in addition to its other stuff. So I set up a simple
maven repository, using ftp to deploy to a directory structure, with
nginx serving up the same structure in HTTP.

And since what I'm mainly deploying to this maven repository is
snapshots, and what I want is just a single snapshot, I wrote the above
utility.
