Hi all,
I was thinking it would be helpful to have a Maven 2 repo with TIM modules
that have the same version numbers as the non-TIM artifacts, or instruct
users on how to create their own local "clustered" TIM repository that has
the latest TIM modules for the artifacts.  Not sure if this idea is as
fleshed out as it could be, but I believe it would help enable apps with TIM
stuff a lot quicker, and allow the user to switch between normal and TIM
modules very easily and quickly.

For example, tim-ehcache would have the same groupId, artifactId, and
version as the non-TIM artifact, and the user would only have to list their
local TIM repo in their pom instead of having to change the artifacts in
their POM and keep track of which version of TIM correlates to the actual
artifact version.

The biggest problem I can think of offhand is when the TIM code is updated
for the same artifact, so I'm not sure what could be done to work around
that other than datestamp comparison.  Maybe there could be some kind of
Maven 2 TIM plugin that could scan the POM and tell Maven to use the TIM
artifact instead?

Cheers,
Jim
