In writing the Topology mode I had to make a copy of the base artifact processor as it only has package visibilityIt has lots of useful utilities alongside the assembly specific bits. How about we separate the utilities from the assemly specific bits and make the utilities more widely available. For example, we could separate the utilites for reading XML elements from those that read specific assembly elements into a more fundamental base class.
I think this would be good (but its only fare to note that there's at least one who's away on holiday right now who may not be so keen). One of the issues is should the SPI be just interfaces or can it also have abstract or utility helper classes as well. Some of those type of classes could make using the existing SPI much easier IMHO and could make things like the extension helper redundant. ...ant
