Package org.eclipse.aether.impl

The provisional interfaces defining the various sub components that implement the repository system. Aether Core provides stock implementations for most of these components but not all. To obtain a complete/runnable repository system, the application needs to provide implementations of the following component contracts: ArtifactDescriptorReader, VersionResolver, VersionRangeResolver and potentially MetadataGeneratorFactory. Said components basically define the file format of the metadata that is used to reason about an artifact's dependencies and available versions.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ArtifactDescriptorReader	Provides information about an artifact that is relevant to transitive dependency resolution.
ArtifactResolver	Resolves artifacts, that is gets a local filesystem path to their binary contents.
DependencyCollector	Given a collection of direct dependencies, recursively gathers their transitive dependencies and calculates the dependency graph.
Deployer	Publishes artifacts to a remote repository.
Installer	Publishes artifacts to the local repository.
LocalRepositoryProvider	Retrieves a local repository manager from the installed local repository manager factories.
MetadataGenerator	A metadata generator that participates in the installation/deployment of artifacts.
MetadataGeneratorFactory	A factory to create metadata generators.
MetadataResolver	Resolves metadata, that is gets a local filesystem path to their binary contents.
OfflineController	Determines whether a remote repository is accessible in offline mode.
RemoteRepositoryManager	Helps dealing with remote repository definitions.
RepositoryConnectorProvider	Retrieves a repository connector from the installed repository connector factories.
RepositoryEventDispatcher	Dispatches repository events to registered listeners.
SyncContextFactory	A factory to create synchronization contexts.
UpdateCheckManager	Determines if updates of artifacts and metadata from remote repositories are needed.
UpdatePolicyAnalyzer	Evaluates update policies.
VersionRangeResolver	Parses and evaluates version ranges encountered in dependency declarations.
VersionResolver	Evaluates artifact meta/pseudo versions.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AetherModule	Deprecated. Use AetherModule instead.
DefaultServiceLocator	A simple service locator that is already setup with all components from this library.
DefaultServiceLocator.ErrorHandler	A hook to customize the handling of errors encountered while locating a service implementation.
UpdateCheck<T,E extends RepositoryException>	A request to check if an update of an artifact/metadata from a remote repository is needed.
