If I wanted to store my artifacts in a database instead of putting files into some well-known locations. Can I write an implementation of 'RepositorySystem' which allows me to do that? No. It's way too file-system based. A database would give me a blob. A path or a filename is meaningless for the way artifacts are stored/accessed. I'd need to convert that blob to a file locally when it needs to become part of some classpath, for example. Speaking about "RepositorySystem", File or URL is the wrong abstraction, in my opinion. A repository can be accessed over the network (hostname and port) using a protocol. No URL involved. No filesystem involved. Just thoughts.
