Seems to be a reasonable compromise.
For example
http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant/1.5.1/ant-1.5.1.jar
http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant/1.5.1/ant-testutil-1.5.1.jar
http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant/1.5.1/LICENSE.txt
   

Why go straight to the jar file ? It may be more valuable to have
 

http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant
   

or
 

http://repo.apache.org/org/apache/ant
   

and what not yeild an *.xml (and for browsers a *.html) file with the
metadata, list of available versions, their MD5's, dependencies, perhpas a
code for licenses, etc..
Dw.
 

I fully argre that   /project  should return a   xml descriptor with all 
that information. 
However I realy want the metadata file to be optional and have the URI 
structure formal enough to guess,  users will anyways.
The advanced tool should use all that information but I also want to 
support
<get href="http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant/LATEST/ant.jar"; />

Lets start a sperate thread on what should be in the metadata.
