Ok - then. So: 1. Do I understand well that the advantage of Rest connection over native Maven connection is that when using maven we cannot search repo? 2. The goal would be to produce an extension with two components ExtensionRepositoryFactory: 'bintray' and 'artifactory' which sharing the same logic will allow to connect Bintray and Artifactory? Or just one ExtensionRepositoryFactory with name 'artifactory' to be used also for both? This naming is a bit important since in xwiki.properties whilst giving url to external repo user also gives type of repo. (As regards ExtensionRepositorySource components - they are completely hidden so it may be one for both Artifactory and Bintray)
