I'm sure it has the ability to download the index and search from a
remote repository, yes.

Ok, I thought Kenney said it did - I haven't used it as an IDEA user
myself. I'm not sure if the index will help with tree navigation - I
haven't checked if Lucene can enumerate all of the keys (which would
allow you to get all the group, artifact and versions in the repository)

I was referring to if you are building a comprehensive m2 plugin for
IDEA. If you are just interested in the repository function, you might
also check out the Raven project (they only have m1 format as well, but
maybe you could add m2 support there).

Just trying to save you some extra work where possible :) I don't think
anyone is parsing the m2 layout at the moment though.

The key thing to look for should be the artifact files themselves. From
there you can walk back - the directory is the version, the one above
that is the artifact, and all the ones above that are group parts.

Cheers,
Brett
