@ -10,6 +10,22 @@ Maven Repository Metadata Model
This is strictly the model for Maven Repository Metadata, so really just plain objects.
Maven Repository Metadata is stored in directories representing:
* either an artifact (without version)
* or a group containing Maven plugins artifacts.
[]
The metadata file name is:
* <<<maven-metadata.xml>>> in a remote repository,
* <<<maven-metadata-\<repo-id>.xml>>> in a local repository, for metatada from a repository with <<<repo-id>>> identifier.
[]
The following are generated from this model:
* {{{./apidocs/index.html}Java sources}} with Reader and Writers for the Xpp3 XML parser, to read and write <<<maven-metadata(-*).xml>>> files
