Package org.eclipse.aether.spi.connector Description

The contract to access artifacts/metadata in remote repositories. By implementing a RepositoryConnectorFactory and registering it with the repository system, an application can enable access to arbitrary remote repositories. It should be noted that a repository connector is powerful yet burdensome to implement. In many cases, implementing a TransporterFactory or RepositoryLayoutFactory will be sufficient and easier to access a custom remote repository.
