Nick, Have you looked at the ArtifactDatabase interface it sounds like we're after a similar beast. Something to query for the catalog of components.

What about you get an artifact database from a repository or just use a constructor and have extra methods to ask for the list of artifacts. What methods do you foresee needing? Perhaps I can add them into this interface and u can use an implementation of it. The first implementation will use properties file on the repo server to get meta data on artifacts. > The Eclipse Plugin is to support that you can install RepositoryAgent > implementations, so basically any repository type can be browsed. > For components that have Merlin Compliance, the UI will allow to be > drag-n-dropped to a created merlin container, and manual or automatic > dependency resolution can take place, but that is a bit further down the > line. That sounds so cool - I see myself using it already ;-).
