Goal

  The idea here is to explain how to develop Archiva; or at least to provide some 
  insight into what is what within the maven/archiva/ directory.

Subprojects

  The following subprojects exist within Archiva:

  * archiva-applet - The progress bar on the checksum checking page.
  * archiva-configuration - A facade on top of the Plexus configuration XML.
  * archiva-converter - ????
  * archiva-core - central code, business objects, modello etc.
  * archiva-discoverer - monitors the managed repositories and kicks off the indexing.
  * archiva-indexer - the lucene indexing.
  * archiva-plexus-application - archiva can run on plexus as well as as a war. This creates a plexus app.
  * archiva-plexus-runtime - archiva can run on plexus as well as as a war. This runs lots of apps.
  * archiva-proxy - proxy repositories?
  * archiva-reports-standard - a couple of reports are implemented. Not very pluginable yet.
  * archiva-repository-layer - ????
  * archiva-security - webapp security
  * archiva-utils - some handy archiva specific utils
  * archiva-webapp - creates a war file
  * design - contains a mock-up currently
  * maven-meeper - rsync scripts to sync repositories. Also converts m1 repositories to m2 repositories.

Concepts

  There are various terms in Archiva that are worth explaining and defining. 

  * "Managed" - A managed repository is a repository which Archiva is sitting on top of that may be browsed.
  * "Indexed" - The ability to search a managed repository.
  * "Proxied" - A remote repository which an existing managed repository can be used as a facade for.
  * "Synchronized" - A remote repository which is physically copied down to be managed under Archiva. 
  * "Identifier" - A short ID for your repository that will be used in URLs.
