Probably it was a mistake from my side but I wanted to have a guard which
stops you from deploying/installing to 
maven repositories artifacts which cannot be downloaded by maven.
The implementation is mostly symmetrical with artifact downloading routines
in maven core
When you have artifact of type "example" (  <type>example<type>  ) it has to
have extension .example 
and reside in the folder "examples". Only maven plugins and ejb jars are
handled in a special way.
This is something we want to change in close future and make it to certain
degree customisable.
