I'm talking about an application, at runtime, not development time.. ..basic scenario is this : application bootstrap starts, prompts the user to login. After login, the list of modules accessible to his profile are downloaded and a dialog box is thrown to him with the modules that are out of date in his local cache, asking him whether he wants to download them now or when needed. I need to populate this list... ..the data I need is in the .meta files on the web server. Since the repository API is anyway fetching the .meta file for an artifact, it would be simple for me to query the repository API and ask for the details I need, and populate the list box using this data. ( Other option will be to fetch and parse the .meta file myself, but I'd prefer not to do this... ..basic laziness.. :) ) Brgds, R.
