Repository Metadata

Plugins need maven-metadata.xml files listing all plugins available in a groupId

for instance http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/

All artifacts need maven-metadata.xml listing all versions, although only for some operations, like version ranges

eg http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/maven-artifact/maven-metadata.xml

Snapshot artifacts need maven-metadata.xml in the version folder to resolve snapshots

eg. http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/maven/maven-artifact/2.1-SNAPSHOT/
