Hello, i've recently added maven repository indexing features to the netbeans maven support. I index the local repository. I query it for artifactsId/groupId for code-completion in pom.xml, for achetypes when creating new project. Will also be used for adding dependecies and general searching features.
a natural next step is to include repome repository content as well, however the question is how to get it's index. One way would be probably to distribute the index with the netbeans modules and create the index manually once in a while. Of course it will be often out of synch. Another option is that each repository exposes the index at a predefined place and one could retrieve it through wagon. Then it would be the repository's responsibility to update the index when new artifacts arrive and the client code would be responsible for updating the local cached copy regularly. Here goes the proposal: let's have 1- .artifactIndex/ folder for the Artifact index 2- .pomindex/ for Pom index (it would be nice if the pom index contained completely resolved models with injected parent pom's content, for details see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-121 3- .metadataIndex for indexing metata. I'm not entirely sure on the content of the folders, will zipping it up help for download size? Where would such a remote repository indexing code reside? the maven repository webapp?
