Path is slower than File, it is only interesting when the filesystem can be abstracted IIRC. Also changing the internal will not help much in regards of what is done or we need to change it everywhere at the same time (to benefit from the abstraction). That said I understand Markus "caller need" very much so guess we should tackle that at some point. An alternative is to provide another resolver method which returns NioArtifacts. Here nothing would be ambiguous probably and a plugin could even test if it exists or not. Lastly we must start somewhere to provide a more user friendly API, if we stick to current prerequisites it will never happen ;). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
