> We will probably keep our embedded artifact handling, to support cases where users don't have access to artifacts we use, and to provide consistency to the user experience. I can imagine at least:
> - embedding archetypes to generate projects
> - embedding additional, development-time only, bundles for the sling installation
> To make them reusable from multiple contexts, I propose that we
> 1. Package all the embedded artifacts into a single plugin - can be the eclipse.core plugin for now, but I'd prefer something like org.apache.sling.ide.artifacts
> 2. Create an OSGi DS component which reads the artifacts using the bundle context
> 3. Do not hardcode versions. Rather, read them from the embedded manifest - for bundles, or pom.properties - for non-OSGi Maven artifacts. Possibly cache this information lazily, once it's retrieved.
