Sure, though being new to the mailing list and how the Avalon project is
managed, I do not exactly know where to start... (but with some help..)

To me this seems like it could be done through:

- Get a more clean structure documented.

- Getting enough consensus behind the clean structure to get it published as
part of the documentation. To me this seems crucial to the mission of Merlin
to allow COP, and make it easy to assemble applications of ready-made
components, but who are the stakeholders here?

- A repository provider that supports an alias list stored in the repository
itself would help migration to a more clean-structure (thus existing
repositories could be migrated to the new clean structure, and old
components would still be able to access the .JAR's they use as long as a
version of Merlin with the new Repository Provider is being used). Another
approach might be just to go for an alias file outside the repository
itself, so that one could configure the mapping for a particular Merlin
installation.
