Repository Code
Hi,
I would like to use Mavens repository code in a few other applications. To do
this what I would like to do is separate out the repository, fetching,
verifying code into a separate component.
I have had a look at the current codebase and what documentation I could find.
ie
http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/ArtifactRepository
http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/IdGroupIdArtifactId
http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/ArtifactDownloading
What I want to do is essentially grab what you have now and extend it in a few
wierd and wonderful ways. Essentially what I want to do is enable alternative
mechanisms for downloading remote artefacts. I also want to extend the
mechanism via which artefacts are matched so that you can *optionally*
support things like "request artefact version 1.1 and get reference to
1.1.1". This may not be used by Maven but is useful in other contexts.
I want it to be extensively unit tested and will most likely develope it using
TDD for the most part. However I expect that it will regularly be broken as I
experiment with different techniques and designs.
So I guess I was wondering how you want to me to do this. I would like maven
to eventually use this once it stabilizes but in the meantime it is probably
best it evolves independently.
Would the best way to do this for me to just build it independently and then
either donate it to maven at later stage or something?

Cheers,
Peter Donald

It's something that Michal and I have been working on but it will not be
released into the public eye without documentation. It's essentially the
artifact tool chain that was present in maven-new.

Sounds good. Can you point me at this - I am quite willing to do the work for
you. I just prefer to tackle this earlier rather than later.

Soon after 1.0 some components will be released for integration into the
general maven codebase. One of them specifically deals with artifact
handling and is meant to be a reusable in other applications. I assume
you want the exact same thing I'm looking for and that's integration
with a container :-)

There's nothing in maven-new, everything in there has been harvested and
the that repo will get axed soon enough I've just left it there for the
time being so that anyone who wanted to remove anything could.

Einstein argued that there must be simplified explanations of nature, because
God is not capricious or arbitrary. No such faith comforts the software
