Use case: As it allows any url I can just have links to build files via file: protocol and then when I want to update a file I just do a "touch".Plus, imagine the "power" of installing pax urls together with file install. I can have .lnk file doing war transformation, automatic wrapping, mvn refere

Hi alin, Just my 2cents... I seem to recall that the .lnk extension under windows is used to define shortcuts. Does this potentionally impose problems for the windows users out there?? Cheers, Dennis On 24 jun 2009, at 17:41, "Alin Dreghiciu" wrote: > Well, we are talking about pretty muc
