Ok that's very cool. But how are people supposed to know abt all this logic
going on ? Is there any documentation out there abt it.

Well maybe there is, I'll start looking at the website more carefully.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Without looking at your concrete example;

Merlin does something similiar to Maven, it will download dependencies. Or
to 
be more precise, the Avalon repository does it.

This happens if the resources of the dependencies are expressed in the newer

"URN" format, instead of the explicit local Jars, and there are repositories

declared in kernel.xml (or equivalent embedded kernel setup).
