Hi, I would like to use Mavens repository code in a few other applications. To do this what I would like to do is separate out the repository, fetching, verifying code into a separate component.
I have had a look at the current codebase and what documentation I could find. ie http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/ArtifactRepository http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/IdGroupIdArtifactId http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/ArtifactDownloading What I want to do is essentially grab what you have now and extend it in a few wierd and wonderful ways. Essentially what I want to do is enable alternative mechanisms for downloading remote artefacts. I also want to extend the mechanism via which artefacts are matched so that you can *optionally* support things like "request artefact version 1.1 and get reference to 1.1.1". This may not be used by Maven but is useful in other contexts. I want it to be extensively unit tested and will most likely develope it using TDD for the most part. However I expect that it will regularly be broken as I experiment with different techniques and designs. So I guess I was wondering how you want to me to do this. I would like maven to eventually use this once it stabilizes but in the meantime it is probably best it evolves independently. Would the best way to do this for me to just build it independently and then either donate it to maven at later stage or something? -- Cheers, Peter Donald ----------------------------------------------- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein ----------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
