Re: Why MavenProject is not an Artifact?

[Robert Scholte]

Hi Paul,

i think you will like this link[1] where I tried to compare elements which  
have a GAV.
I had to write this down when working on the maven-artifact-transfer  
component.
I know how the Model is generated, so I kind of understand why the  
interface is missing.
As you can see, all these classes have a different meaning/goal and most  
of the time you know on which kind of instance you are working on.
Yes, this component introduces specific Coordinate interfaces, which  
probably matches your requirements.

String getGroupId();

String getArtifactId();

String getVersion();

String getId();

BTW, unless I have missed it, I was surprised to see no "GAV" interface.
Thus, I propose this as the GAV interface. :-) That will certainly help
many mojo developers who want to collect such coordinates from their
 element.

Cheers,
