Add support for serving JARDiff-ed Maven artifacts
--------------------------------------------------
Key: MRM-111
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-111
Project: Maven Repository Manager
Type: Improvement
Components: web application, repository interface
Reporter: Cédric Vidal
It would save bandwith, accelerate artifact downloading and enhance the maven 2
experience to use the same JARDiff algorithm as the one used in the
JnlpDownloadServlet which is fully documented here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/downloadservletguide.html
The idea is to download (or upload) the incremental updates to a JAR instead of
the full JAR.
There is already support for this algorithm in the maven community in the JNLP
related Maven Webstart Plugin:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/webstart-maven-plugin-parent/webstart-maven-plugin/
For this to work, JARDiff support must be added at least to the MRM Server and
to the MRM Wagon, but the best would be to add JARDiff support to all maven
wagons as a standard way of downloading and uploading artifacts.
Cheers
