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.

That sounds so cool - I see myself using it already ;-).
