that might help. You could certainly use the WebDAV protocol to
crawl the
information.
It could also be added to the xmlrpc search service quickly.
We were actually looking at the Dependency Tree tab and wishing for it
there [or in an xml export of that data] and then the story changed to
needing the _Project_ tree (basically the pom hierarchy) with this
info.
Adding it to the webdav view or search wouldn't help here, they're
trying to get a view of all the artifacts 'in' a project and need to
know the size in addition to the artifactId/version/type.
Since that view is built from the database, does that change the
answer?
Well it starts to touch upon one of the fundamental things I'd like to
see change in Archiva, where it has a project layer over the top of
the artifacts, rather than being artifact centric. It is somewhat half
done in the current UI, and neither wins as a result.
So I think there's probably not the info now (other than to query the
database directly), but if we could arrange for the right info to be
on a page in Archiva, we can construct the same functionality for an
XML/etc view.
