This is definitely a possibility, though I'm not sure if you'd use Maven
itself versus the components that make up Maven. Perhaps the Maven
embedder can be utilised to do this.
I'd be very interested to see it (to the point of creating a work area
under Maven where it could be experimented with).
Cheers,

Hi
Do you think it makes sense to use the dependency component of Maven
to use as a package manager tool in order to do automatic updates of
an application resp. also provide a history of dependencies which would
allow to downgrade in case an upgrade doesn't work as expected?
Please apologize if I might confuse something here, but I would like
a minimal tool which a user would download (instead of the actual
application
whereas she/he would think this is the application) and then this tool
would
download all the required libs resp. the actual application. And
then in the future the application resp. this tool would check for updates
(via RDF for instance as Firefox does) and allow an upgrade, but in case
the upgrade does work as expected one could do a downgrade.
Do you think it makes sense to use Maven as such a tool?
Thanks
Michi
