Do you think this is something people will be typeing often. My
guess is that the defaults will work 98% and I think most of our
users will either use our maven plugins (and ant ones one day) or the
eclipse tooling to manage these, so they would never type them anyway.

I kind of like the string form as its easier to type. It works
well if you take Dain's ideas and reverse the version and the type
so you have:
geronimo/foo - Means I'll take what's current in the server
geronimo/foo/car - If you want to be specific about it being a car
or other type
geronimo/foo/car/[1.0,2.0( - If you need to be really specific.
I'm gut it telling me that this deviation from the maven standard
format will cause us big pains later, but I don't have any thing
specific.
How many different types are there? If its limited and can
generally be derived from a context then perhaps the existing
ordering works.
I think the most common types are jar, ear, war, rar and car. In the
context of a configId, parentId, or import the most common type by a
long shot is car. The only other type I commonly see is rar, for all
the connectors.
I'm ok with the second form if its the easier.
Good to know. I think we need to chew on this one for a while before
making any moves :)
