Maybe registrar is the wrong term. I'm referring to this comment from
this link
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html):
*
groupId*: it will identify your project uniquely across all projects, so
we need to enforce a naming schema. ... There are a lot of poorly
defined package names so you *must provide proof that you control the
domain* that matches the groupId. ...
This implies that there is a central database somewhere that all
packages are listed in. Not sure whether this database is just meta
data, or meta data + artifacts.
Or am I misunderstanding something?

I'm not sure to understand what you mean about registrar.
Typically, a repository contains, for each artifact, a JAR -
containing the
classes - and a POM - containing "metadata". But you'll notice that with
"mvn deploy", you also deployed two extra JARs, containing Javadoc and
sources.
If you specify, in your POM, a dependency to artifact A, then A's POM and
JAR will be downloaded from the remote repository to your local
repository,
then used in Maven builds.
You'll find a longer explanation about repositories here :
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html
And, yes, for now, Maven is mostly for Java, but you can compile C and
C++
with the native-plugin :
http://mojo.codehaus.org/maven-native/native-maven-plugin/
Hope it helps,
