Well, once we settle with the aether implementation (or lets say at least:
aether as an (internal) interface) i am fine with dropping it - heck we are
using SCMs if we need to dig it out later again.

pax-url-mercury is a repacked Maven Mercury . - only the old & wise
remember this predecessor of Aether..
pax-url-maven a mvn implementation using mercury.

Because mercury has been superseded by Aether, both modules are obsolete.

A funny spike of mine. To make it short: drop it.
(this handler crawls surrounding folders for maven projects matching the
coordinates specified in for example mvnlive:foo/bar URLs. if it find that
one, it will kick off a maven rebuilt and pass the produced artifact out.
Heck what do you think mvn-live stands for ?
Its not living. kick it.
