Hello, no, i'm not talking about bringing them under one project.
I think it is too late for that. IMHO, every MRM (MRM as Maven Repo Manager and not Archiva predecessor) team achieved a lot, and it would be irrealistic to expect from them to throw it away or dissect it. And even if they do, the result would be very probably a MRM called "Frankenstein, the most versatile Maven Repository Manager" that would never work :) I was talking about common MRM API defined by Maven (maven community, not MRM developers/community). This common API could be implemented by various MRMs fully or partially (depending on their MRM capabilities). And also, all "maven tools" like maven plugins or 3rd party tools could use this API to gain some benefit regardless of actual MRM on the far end. Like the mentioned m2eclipse or netbeans plugin, to reach remote repo indexes for example, etc. ~t~ On 6/1/07, Tim Moloney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Since you said that all of the current maven proxies are essentially repository managers and you are suggesting that we combine them and all of their features into one project...
