Ok - then.
So:
1. Do I understand well that the advantage of Rest
connection over native
Maven connection is that when using maven we cannot search repo?
Yes you don't have live search in standard Maven repository. In some
repository you can download an index but that's all.
2. The goal would be to produce an extension with two
components
ExtensionRepositoryFactory: 'bintray' and 'artifactory' which sharing
the
same logic will allow to connect Bintray and Artifactory? Or just
one ExtensionRepositoryFactory with name 'artifactory' to be used also for
both? This naming is a bit important since in xwiki.properties whilst
giving url to external repo user also gives type of repo. (As
regards ExtensionRepositorySource components - they are completely hidden
so it may be one for both Artifactory and Bintray)
If Bintray use Artifactory REST API then there should be only one
'artifactory' ExtensionRepositoryFactory.
ExtensionRepositorySource point is to provide default repository (for
example extensions.xwiki.org or nexus.xwiki.org) so it only make sense
for Bintray jcenter (unless jcenter does not expose REST API). I
totally skipped the fact that anyone was able to create a Bintray
instance and I was actually only thinking about jcenter.
