Hi Toni,

very good idea. I need a quiet moment to read and understand your
proposal in detail, though...

Some other points I noticed while working on Pax URL 1.4.0 snaphots:

- Maven repository handling is growing into a maintenance nightmare.
Wiki, Javadoc and implementations are diverging, test coverage is
insufficient, and the desired behaviour is unclear.
- Is it necessary to parse settings.xml? Aether must have an API for that...
- Do we need to hard-code the central repository URL? Where does Maven
get it from - the Super POM? Does Aether or some other Maven component
offer a suitable API?

Would be good to see that cleaned up in Pax URL 2.x.

Cheers,
Harald
