Hey,
Until there's a webservice running 24/7 against central repository,
there's no need to actually consider it for IDE integration I believe.
Additionally the downloadable index can satisfy multiple requests at
once, reasonably fast from multiple repositories. That makes
aggregation of multiple repos reasonably predictable. With webservices
you end up with one server having unreliable response, being down,
unreachable etc. and everything get bogged down.
The upside is always uptodate data, but I'm not convinced it's that
important for index content. a month old central repo is more than
enough.
I think this one is more for the behind the firewall types, and would
be used in conjunction with a downloadable index for central and the
like.
just my 2 cents.

PS: the netbeans maven integration is using nexus as primary indexing
engine (more are possible throung pluggable spi) just for this reason:
it has central repo index up.
I've talked a bit in the past about adding an additional in a nexus
compatible format generator for Archiva (the format is quite similar
to one we already had in older versions of Archiva with some new
fields), so that should be a safe bet.

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

Hi,
I'm one of the developers of the Q4E Eclipse plugin for
integrating Maven 2
with Eclipse. One of the features we are adding in the next
release is the
ability to search artifacts, both in a search dialog and as
autocompletion
when editing a POM xml file.
Currently we've developed code to support searching the central
repository
via the index file that is created of it, but we'd also like to
support
searching local repositories like Archiva, Nexus, and
Artifactory. How
would you recommend for me to go about searching the artifacts in an
Archiva
repository? Is there some index file we can download and use for
search?
Some web service we can use?
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
