Yes and no. It would be useful if the repository could host virtual artifacts. This enables: . a unified view of artifacts to be presented to both users and tools . virtual artifacts to be augmented with meta-data E.g, sun jars could have associated maven project.xml files. . federation support At the very least, tools would need to be aware that they need to follow http redirects to get to the real artifact. This group could make recommendations as to how virtual artifacts could be supported.
