Very cool you have good timing. Have you had a chance to look at some of the discussions on the avalon-dev list regarding an API for building repository aware Avalon applications. It would be nice to merge our discussions and these topics together as one community rather than fragmenting it. For starters here are links to some of those related threads: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=22035 http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=22038 I separated it into two parts as two trails to track each peice separately. I may have gotten too creative here ;-). Basically we're shooting for having a means to associate attributes with artifacts within the repository and have a generic API for repository aware and/or repository bootstrapping applications. The ideas being discussed revolve around the notion of an attribute database to be used to centrally manage project related artifact attributes. This way the repository becomes a queriable artifact directory as well as a artifact store. Are these ideas appealing to the Maven community? What can we do to consolidate our efforts?
