James,
I am not exactly sure what is the problem for Archiva or any other
project
to use nexus indexer API. For instance, Archiva is already using
number of
dependencies from outside of Maven project and even from outside
Apache
umbrella and it doesn't seem to be an issue.
As Jason already mentioned, index format could change, but we do
make sure
that API still works, so you it would simply mean to update one of
the
project dependencies.
as a user of the nexus indexer (in netbeans integration), I'm hoping
this kind of statements only mean compatible changes in the index that
will not break users of the old APIs.
Can you confirm?
Throughout the life of 1.x.x any APIs that are there will remain, and
I don't see why that practice would need to change even after 1.x.x.
Milos
Also, you are more then welcome to discuss features and contribute
code to
the nexus indexer component.
regards,
Eugene

I'm cool sticking with the Nexus index format - it works and there
has
been a successful uptake with different tool vendors - so it seems
to
be the defacto standard. We will certainly be using it in a future
version of Archiva.
What I would like to see would be that the index code becomes part
of
the Maven project itself and be the index standard for Maven
repositories.
This is good for the simple reason that other repository projects
will
not have to play constant catchup with Nexus if that index format
changes - changes to the format can be discussed and worked on with
the Maven community. On another note, if any fundamental changes are
made to Maven in the future it ensures that the index format can
grow
with those changes.
