The provisional interfaces defining the various subcomponents 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.-
ClassDescriptionProvides information about an artifact that is relevant to transitive dependency resolution.Resolves artifacts, that is gets a local filesystem path to their binary contents.Given a collection of direct dependencies, recursively gathers their transitive dependencies and calculates the dependency graph.Publishes artifacts to a remote repository.Publishes artifacts to the local repository.Retrieves a local repository manager from the installed local repository manager factories.A metadata generator that participates in the installation/deployment of artifacts.A factory to create metadata generators.Resolves metadata, that is gets a local filesystem path to their binary contents.Determines whether a remote repository is accessible in offline mode.Remote repository filter manager.Helps dealing with remote repository definitions.Retrieves a repository connector from the installed repository connector factories.Dispatches repository events to registered listeners.Lifecycle managing component for repository system.UpdateCheck<T,
E extends RepositoryException> A request to check if an update of an artifact/metadata from a remote repository is needed.Determines if updates of artifacts and metadata from remote repositories are needed.Evaluates update policies.Parses and evaluates version ranges encountered in dependency declarations.Evaluates artifact meta/pseudo versions.
