+Central Analyzer
+==============
+
+Dependency-check includes an analyzer that will check for the Maven GAV
+(Group/Artifact/Version) information for artifacts in the scanned area. By
+default the information comes from [Maven Central][1]. If the artifact's hash
+is found in the configured Nexus repository, its GAV is recorded as an Identifier
+and the Group is collected as Vendor evidence, the Artifact is collected as Product
+evidence, and the Version is collected as Version evidence.
