I'm confused... you are distriguishing between local and remote repositories
when you've just abstracted the concept into a virtual reader... why?
This is more implementation details, for user it's hidden by virtual
reader. This reader, actually, hides all the repositories from the user
- it implements (WIP) repository lookup policies and returns back th
results. I tried to go deeper in this posting and describe what the code
is doing.
Why would you scan directories rather than read the metadata is that to
support other tools that just dump jars?
Exactly - I saw a lot of people just dumping a jar - without pom or any
metadata into local repository and expecting it to be found.
I think it's reasonable expectation, so I scan instead of using
metadata. For remote repo's I don't have that option, so those better be
consistent :)
Plus metadata is kinda inconsistent - see
