This is something Steve has been fooling around with yesterday. Unfortunately, I am not up-to-date with the current status, but there were problems yesterday that timestamps were checked when not expected. I think the algorithm should be that artifacts that are declared with <project> should not check the timestamp, only <resource> artifacts. I am not sure that this is what currently is the case. > One other query re. file based repository - if I add a file-based > repository to the list of hosts to search for, the block installed > using the code below does NOT get copied to the user's avalon cache... > ..if the repository is a HTTP server, it gets downloaded... Is this the current behaviour?? And you want the files always be copied to the local cache?? > Re. the block.xml file vs. the jar's .meta file : the jar's .meta file > has the list of dependent jars generated using the artifact:install > maven goal.

We have tried to make such marvel with Maven plugins, and the end result of trying to create Maven plugins was MAGIC - The new age of build systems. 2. I am almost certain that Repository will read the .meta file and place each of the dependencies in the proper classloaders. But that is for Jars. Block files doesn't have .meta files. 3. Magic can generate block files, with all the proper dependencies in the <classloader> section, provided that the index.xml file is correctly set up. I hope Steve can provide some additional answers.
