It uses (will use) the same code as that in the repository manager.
Basically, the repository has a zip of the index that is downloaded
regularly and used to search, making it possible to search remotely.
As far as I could tell, m2eclipse uses the same Indexer code, but runs
it against the local repo only. Are you saying that maven repositories
will, at some point in the future, contain an index as generated by that
code?
I'm not sure that helps with browsing - I haven't investigated how the
tree is done there.
m2eclipse doesn't have a tree, just a search query/results view. I
haven't looked at the index format so I don't know if it would support
tree-like navigation.
Have you consulted with the mevenide project? They have developed a
netbeans plugin and have an IDEA plugin for maven 1.x, with the same
developer interested in looking at m2 when time permits.
I've tried, but unsuccessfully; for some reason Gmane can't post to the
mevenide lists, so I'll have to subscribe by email and try again :-)
I've looked at their m1 code for IDEA, but as I mentioned before, this
is much easier with an m1 repo layout since you know a priori.
I have a hacked-up implementation that works for m2 repo layouts now, by
always reading two levels deeper into the tree to figure out if the
current directory represents a (part of a) group ID or an artifact ID,
but I'm expecting what I have to break down if the current directory
represents both... And what I have wont work against a legacy repo
layout :-(

Ah, OK, so that only works with local repositories, and will scan the
entire repo in one go. I need to be able to work against remote
repositories and perform incremental discovery (think tree view, loading
only as much as necessary to display each sub-tree on node expansion).
I think there's code here I can steal though :-) And if I can figure out
how to meet my requirements in a way that fits, I'll try to offer some
extensions of the existing m-r-d stuff.

Take a look at the repository-manager code in SVN, specifically

That sounds promising, I hadn't come across that. How come it's in
/maven, not /maven/components? Maybe that'll become clear once I finish
checking it out and have a look at the code...
What type of browser are you trying to build - a web client?
Nope, an IDE plugin (Maven2 support for IDEA) :-)

Does M2 have any APIs for repository navigation and artifact

I'm trying to create a repository browser which presents a tree view,
which is easy with M1's 'flat' layout, but with M2's hierarchical
layout
it's a bit trickier...
Specifically, I don't immediately see a way of figuring out whether a
directory represents (part of) a group ID or an artifact ID until
I look
at its child entries, possibly grand-child entries too.
It occurs to me that Maven may already abstract all the logic for
doing
this transparently across both repository layout formats... Am I in
luck? :-)
