Hi,
While working on a fix for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEPLOY-212, I found out that the plugin is using the interface ArtifactFactory (Maven Core), that was deprecated as of Maven 3. The fix would need to utilize this class in order to create artifacts but this would add deprecation warnings. Am I right in saying that this was replaced by RepositorySystem? Should this one be used for new commit code or is there a plan to fix all of the deprecation in the future? I'm not sure of all the possible compatibility consequences of using this interface instead of ArtifactFactory. Additionally, I couldn't find a JIRA issue about the correction of those deprecation (only https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5782 suggesting improving the doc about it): should one be created? Thanks, Guillaume
