I'll tell them it works ;)


Just note, I'm not trying to rain on your parade. I just think that a new API we come up with will be able to support any end format, I just don't see the benefit of RDF. If we're going to use something unreadable we might as well just use a binary index :-)

I think we can get the artifact api sorted out quickly and it would be very nice to align everything back to something common and I agree it needs to be robust and be flawless. I realize why you wanted/had to use something else but in the long I think it will be confusing for users. The 4 groups I know using NMaven are doing both Java and .net at the same time. The POM is fundamental to Maven.

Some background info on the repository changes:

I wouldn't go veering off too far from the way Java Maven works as I
won't be too keen on integrating this back into the top-level project
being entirely different then the existing system. Using an entirely
different resolution mechanism  and a different local repository
format creating a dichotomy between Maven and NMaven.

What do you tell people when they are accustom to Maven and then
start using NMaven and it works completely differently?
