 Description  « Hide
Maven Community should define a common API for reaching Repository Managers in programmatic way. Repository Manager implementations could implement this API fully or just partially (depending on their capabilities, etc).

This API could be used by various Maven related tools (like M2Eclipse plugin) in searches, indexing etc.

Possible RM published functionalities:

  • direct searching by passing some expressions/lucene queries/whatever
  • preparing and offering Lucene/Compass index downloads
  • turning reposes online/offine, reachable/unreachable, etc
  • Basic RM configurations, repo blackouts, repo controlling
  • Advanced RM configurations (probably RM specific?)
