Untrue. It can resolve to that, but it resolves to only the latter part, without the repository reference. Anyway, I'm +1 on this. It is clear, unambiguous, and terse. Those work for me. Christian. On 27-May-09, at 03:22 , Ralph Goers wrote: I'm actually surprised no one has commented

Looks like this has been considered before (and implemented): Maven URL handler implements the specs from OSGi URl Handlers Service and registers a service that handles url's as: mvn://repository/groupId/artifactId/version/type?instructions Where: * repository - is the repostory

Why is this confusing? I think people understand URI rewriting pretty well. The mvn: uri is an abstraction, and is globally invariant and abstract, while an http: url is concrete and physically exists, but is locally bound based on repository configuration. I may get

Swapping in MNG-2766 for trunk

Benjamin, Just checking to see where you are with the model builder as I've done my changes and I'm ready to swap in the branch for trunk. When you're good I'll cut the code over. For anyone interested in 3.x in the next week will probably be the best time to get involved as the core

The problem with this is two-fold actually, The url representation currently doesn't encapsulate the other parts of the dependency declaration like optional or scope. Further, it is difficult to deterministically reverse a url like that back to the GAV components... we struggle with this often in

You've also just lost decent autocomplete in IDEs, etc. I think the URIs make sense for when you're in a context where such a thing might make sense (the PAX / ServiceMix Kernel example comes to mind), but to force people to mentally translate a model to a URI when they are thinking in

Fair comment. Not less annoying. It's less size (not bytes, but actual typing... and to Brett's point, in Eclipse, I would be typing in a form, not the raw pom.xml file, so it'd be the same regardless of how it's represented in the pom. Having said that, the ?params annoy me too, but I
