Maven Repository Metadata Model

This is strictly the model for Maven Repository Metadata, so really just plain objects.

Maven Repository Metadata is available in directories representing:

  1. an un-versioned artifact: it gives informations about available versions of the artifact,
  2. a snapshot artifact: it gives precise information on the snapshot,
  3. a group containing Maven plugins artifacts: it gives informations on plugins available in this group.

  • maven-metadata-<repo-id>.xml in a local repository, for metatada from a repository with repo-id identifier.
