RepositoryConnectorFactory (Maven Artifact Resolver 1.3.2 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicRepositoryConnectorFactory
```
public interface RepositoryConnectorFactory
```
A factory to create repository connectors. A repository connector is responsible for uploads/downloads to/from a certain kind of remote repository. When the repository system needs a repository connector for a given remote repository, it iterates the registered factories in descending order of their priority and calls newInstance(RepositorySystemSession, RemoteRepository) on them. The first connector returned by a factory will then be used for the transfer.

- Method Detail
  - newInstance
```
RepositoryConnector newInstance(RepositorySystemSession session,
                                RemoteRepository repository)
                         throws NoRepositoryConnectorException
```
    Tries to create a repository connector for the specified remote repository. Typically, a factory will inspect RemoteRepository.getProtocol() and RemoteRepository.getContentType() to determine whether it can handle a repository.
    
    Parameters:
    
    session - The repository system session from which to configure the connector, must not be null. In particular, a connector must notify any RepositorySystemSession.getTransferListener() set for the session and should obey the timeouts configured for the session.
    
    repository - The remote repository to create a connector for, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The connector for the given repository, never null.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoRepositoryConnectorException - If the factory cannot create a connector for the specified remote repository.
  - getPriority
```
float getPriority()
```
    The priority of this factory. When multiple factories can handle a given repository, factories with higher priority are preferred over those with lower priority.
    
    Returns:
    
    The priority of this factory.
