131	131
132	132	* Is it important to provide searching in ArtifactoryRepositoryManager and BintrayRepositoryManager? If so how to design it's logic using described above Artifactory/Bintray api?
133	133	* How to cope with the fact, that artifactory/bintray repo may contain also other artifacts apart from Xwiki Extension. (In maven connection is not the problem - since maven does not expose searching feature and to download extension you need to specify its full id)\\
134	134	** Possible solution is that: on Artifactory/Bintray you may have plenty different, logically different maven repos. So prerequisite for connecting Artifactory/Bintray will be providing url to repo containing only xwiki valid extensions.

	139	+=== Summary of mail discussion 2 ===
	140	+
	141	+* at the moment we don't bother about Artifactory integration - it's less needed
	142	+* I implement Bintray Connector as RepositoryManager and as Serchable (using this simply but sufficient searching options)
	143	+* term Extension does not refer only to typical XWiki extensions that contain [email protected] or XWiki pages but generally all JARs, that can be later used e.g. in groovy script. Typical XWiki extension usually depend on some external JAR that need to be downloaded from Maven Central or JCenter
	144	+* for the future I would be definitely useful to extend Extension Repository UI with an option to choose the repository from which we want to search extensions (e.g. search in Bintray JCenter, search in Extensions.org ect.)
