-/**
- * p2 artifact repository providing the POM dependency Maven artifacts.
- * 
- * <p>
- * Although the provided artifacts are also stored in the local Maven repository, they cannot be
- * made available via the <tt>LocalArtifactRepository</tt> artifact repository implementation. The
- * reason is that there are differences is how the artifacts provided by the respective
- * implementations may be updated:
- * <ul>
- * <li>For the <tt>LocalArtifactRepository</tt> artifacts, it can be assumed that all updates (e.g.
- * as a result of a <tt>mvn install</tt>) are done by Tycho. Therefore it is safe to write the p2
- * artifact index data to disk together with the artifacts.</li>
- * <li>For the POM dependency artifacts, this assumption does not hold true: e.g. a
- * maven-bundle-plugin build may update an artifact in the local Maven repository without notifying
- * Tycho. So if we had written p2 artifact index data to disk, that data might then be stale.</li>
- * </ul>
- * To avoid the need to implement and index invalidation logic, we use this separate artifact
- * repository implementation with an in-memory index.
- * </p>
