That was (is?) a nice experiment by Anou. Basically we wanted some form of 'ant types' (configuration in XML) but outside of Ant. The configuration file is read, and named configured objects are stored in a registry (by namespaced name). I think it works, but has some usage issues, so right now I'm kinda hoping to leave it on the side, until we find time to work on it. I do like the idea. > Also please note, that there seems to be an endless loop in the method > listArtifacts(...) in the class AbstractHierarchicalRepositories. Or is > there any need for this? I suspect it was another bug introduced in the global renaming, when Artifact(Resource)Specifer -> Artifact, and Artifact(Resource) -> ArtifactInstance. There are a few cases where a cal lto something w/ type ArtifactSpecifer lost the Specifer, and hence changing the intended called method. I'll look into it, thanks. regards Adam
