Tamas Cservenak commented on MNG-8205: -------------------------------------- Some context: * in "maven 3 universe" they DO duplicate and introduce alternate semantics for Artifacts and more importantly Versions (basically we have two parallel implementations of artifacts and versions) * in "maven 4 universe" API introduces third implementation, but goal is to hide the existing two from plugins, essentially Maven 4 API is replacing both with one. * the resolver as standalone library will still keep artifact/version implementations, while Maven Core ones should be dropped somewhere in the future, when Maven4 API becomes the one and only possible thing to reach from Maven4 plugins and extensions. > Deprecate o.a.m.artifact > ------------------------ > > Key: MNG-8205 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8205 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Artifacts and Repositories > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Priority: Major > > The classes within {{org.apache.maven.artifact}} > (https://github.com/apache/maven/tree/master/maven-artifact/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/artifact) > mostly duplicate code from Maven Resolver API > (https://github.com/apache/maven-resolver/tree/master/maven-resolver-api/src/main/java/org/eclipse/aether). > Therefore they should be deprecated and consumers should use the Resolver > API directly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
