How to create a custom repository layout

[Lucas Persson]

Hi In Maven 2 I could define my own repository layout for remote repositories by implementing the org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.layout.ArtifactRepositoryLayout interface and drop the implementation in maven/lib. I understand that this is not supported in Maven3, but I still have a need to use other layouts then the "default". And using a repository manager is not an option (since our build must be completely standalone). Anyway I have seen a plugin that support other repository layouts; the Tycho plugin for Eclipse. But since that is actually a set of plugins that solve many different problems it is kind of hard for me to see what is needed to implement a custom repository layout. Is there some documentation for how a custom repository layout is supported in Maven3? Or at least is there some example plugin that I can take a look at? I got a tip that I can implement org.sonatype.aether.spi.connector.RepositoryConnectorFactory but I do not really understand how to package that into a maven plugin, or it is simply to use the <build><extensions><extension> element in the pom.xml? Any response is welcome.
