11ABCL specific contributions to ASDF system definition mainly concerned
12with finding JVM artifacts such as jar archives to be dynamically loaded.

24API
25---
26
27We define an API as consisting of the following ASDF classes:
28
29JAR-DIRECTORY, JAR-FILE, and CLASS-FILE-DIRECTORY for JVM artifacts
30that have a currently valid pathname representation
31
32And the MVN and IRI classes descend from ASDF-COMPONENT, but do not
33directly have a filesystem location.
34
35For use outside of ASDF, we currently define one method,
36RESOLVE-DEPENDENCIES which locates, downloads, caches, and then loads
37into the currently executing JVM process all recursive dependencies
38annotated in the Maven pom.xml graph.
39
40Example 2
41---------
42
43Bypassing ASDF, one can directly issue requests for the Maven
44artifacts to be downloaded

51as well.

112Problems
113-------
114
1150.4.1 2011-09-06
116
117o  locating the proper Maven3 libraries could work in more places
118   
119o  untested under Windows
120   
121o  more information should be optionally available when downloading
122   as this process can potentially take a long time.
