Hi Mike, Currently, Archiva doesn't have any web service for this yet but it's definitely in the future roadmap (scheduled for 1.2 I think). The repository index file resides by default in the repository directory, but this can be overridden and the location is saved in the config file (archiva.xml). It would be easier if Q4E would be able to use a web service to search the Archiva index instead of having it download the index files from each repository. Do you already have a set date for the next release where the search feature will be included? You may also want to take a look at the archiva-indexer and archiva-lucene consumers modules as these touch the indexing and search part of Archiva.
Joakim also started a POC (archiva-jarinfo [1]) a couple of months ago which I think can be used with Q4E, but I'm not sure how much work still needs to be done here =) Thanks, Deng [1] http://www.nabble.com/WIP-POC-archiva-jarinfo-td15974634.html On Sat, May 24, 2008 at 1:08 AM, Michael Poindexter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm one of the developers of the Q4E Eclipse plugin for integrating Maven 2 > with Eclipse.
