I hope to find time today (latest tomorrow) and finish reaming issues of
artifact deployer.


I have some issues I want to discuss: 

1)
When artifacts are big (few MB) frequent deployment of snapshots to
repository (local or remote) results in MB of unused space, 
as snapshot == latest version (we don't need older versions of the snapshots
anymore)

I suppose that in case of snapshot it wouldn't be so bad
if during deployment we will delete an older version of the artifact

To do this we would probably need to fetch some files from repository
(e.g foo-snapshot-version file).

2) 
I think it will be nice to start using POMs as descriptor of the artifact.

E.g I would prefer to retrieve information about artifact URL from the POM
of this artifact rather then do:

<dependency>
   <id>xerces</id>
   <version>2.2.1</version>
   <url>http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/</url>
</dependency>

What about deploying (installing) also the POM to the repository, every time

we deploy some artifact?
