Ah thanks, I wasn't aware of that - I had assumed archiva used
dependency-tree, although I haven't got around to looking at archiva
yet. That certainly looks like the kind of code I was heading towards
- I'll have a proper look and get back to you. I'm just wondering how
it could be more accurate than the resolution process that Maven core
uses itself?
what would be the point of having a different resolution than the one
maven uses? If I see a dependency graph different of what maven uses
it would be really confusing
other than that let's just choose one of the libraries and deprecate
the other one to avoid splitting the work

Cool. Jason was talking about committing some artifact resolution
code this weekend, so hopefully we can start to converge these efforts
towards 2.1.

Nice, I'd definitely like to see Kenney's versioning become the default.
Cheers,
