Just a thought, but why not dump wagon in 2.1 and just use the
java.net
package for file / http / https / ftp fetch, any valid java.net.URL
could work that way.
Instead of picking and choosing what to support, just punt and support
what is in java itself for fetch.
And we can get rid of a lot of commons-* stuff in the core binary too.
It would need to be focused on artifact handling and specifically the
features require for safe pulling and deployment but that's generally
what I would like to do. Other then you and I occasionally taking a
stab at it (me in the far past) it just doesn't get much loving and I
think people veer away from it because when changes that need to be
made force you to look at all the other providers you don't really
care about.

I think it's also a reasonable goal to allow people to use projects
that refer to embedded remote repositories to build...that way, the
build is totally self-contained. This is one of the things that the
assembly plugin tries to do with its <repositories/> section (though
it doesn't work very well so far...but that's just a matter of time).
IMO, file:// is a nice thing to have, unless we have some way of
allowing the above to work without the file wagon being in core
(maybe
I'm not thinking about it the right way).

I don't currently, but have in the past used file:// for remote.
The use case was that we had to mirror our internal repo to
another corp
network. We essentially zipped up the repo and transferred it to
their
machine (regularly and automatically via scm), which set a mirror
entry
pointing to the local fs. This had to be done this way because a
proxied
connection to our internal repo was not allowed, they needed full
copies
of the entire build in scm.
