-Stage 1: remove use of database and index from core consumers (move implementation into respective database and index modules)
-
-Done!
-
-Stage 2: separate model from JPOX annotated classes, centralising JPOX use in database
-
-Done!
-
-Stage 3: add a basic repository querying API for base artifact information and retrieval of metadata
-
-* RSS, browse
-* consider repository-api refactorings
-* replace archiva-model with separated repository APIs
-* at this point, should be able to have functional Archiva without a database
-* note that metadata need not be stored with the artifacts themselves, but will be by default
-
-Stage 4: incorporation of event API
-
-* used to centralise arrival, removal, etc of files/artifacts in the repository
-* errors should be events as well to avoid exceptions in the logs and instead meaningful handling/reporting
-* could also be used for configuration events
-* consider hooking the audit log to this as well
-
-Stage 5: isolate scanning code
-
-* Repository should operate without scanning code, it should push events if enabled
-* better assessment of its progress, performance
-* removal of database / repository scanning duality - all operations are driven by the event bus
-* move some database operations to a housekeeping scheduled task (same for index), make scheduled tasks a listable item based on available plugins
