+Artifact handlers are required by the dependency resolution mechanism and therefore needed by the core.
+The type specified by a dependency could be altered to load a particular plugin in order to get the 
+artifact handler. This would make it easier to encapsulate all handling for a type in one place and
+not be bound to the core. It wouldn't be terrible as the plugin would need to be downloaded, classloaded,
+components discovered which is probably a reasonable price to pay for complete and comprehensible
+encapsulation. All these special entries here is probably understood by no one which is a real
+problem.
