${project.name}

  The Maven Artifact Transfer Component is intended as an API
  to install, deploy and resolving artifacts in Maven 3.
  
  The {{{./comparison.html} comparison will show }} the differences between
  a dependency, artifact and a maven project.
  
  The {{{./install-project.html} install project}} part will show
  how to this component to make an install of an existing project
  which makes the handling within plugins much easier.

  <<Current State Of The Component>>
  Currently this shared component has not yet reached the final 1.0.0 version state which means the interfaces can
  change.
