Forgot to add my 2c :)
for the record - I'm in favour.
Two things I want to ensure happen, though:
- I'd like to see scope limited to just improving the API, packaging
and usage (as was proposed) - many of the comments touch on how to
change/improve/fix the resolution mechanism itself. That is a
different proposal.
- I would like to see changes done entirely within the artifact trunk
in a self-contained way, and Maven updated as it stabilises - not a
constant chasing of snapshots (or even alphas), especially with the
troubles we've seen with the similar plexus changes recently. We
should expect to see a stable, tested, documented release of artifact
3.0 as a result of this proposal well in advance of Maven 2.1.
(added to the page as well)
Cheers,
Brett

Hi,
I have put the text of the proposal here so that it doesn't get lost:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Decoupling+of+Maven+Artifact
But I would like to decouple the artifact handling code from Maven
in an attempt to improve it and make it easier for people to use.
This is also how I see making proposals work going forward. Put
them in the wiki, bring it up here, if there is concern we can
discuss it, otherwise after a reasonable period of time (3 days)
the person who made the proposal can just do it if there is no
conflict. So if you agree and don't have to comment if you don't
want to. What's important is the proposal be visible (initial
mailing list and wiki) and remain visible (the wiki in the
proposals section). I also added a date to the proposal item so
that you can see when it started. So we can cull stuff from the
active list if it sits there forever without any ongoing effort.
Thanks,
Jason
