    <section name="Apache Maven Artifact Resolver">

      <p>Apache Maven Artifact Resolver is a library for working with artifact repositories and dependency resolution.</p>
      <p>Maven Artifact Resolver deals with the specification of local repository, remote repository, developer workspaces, artifact transports and artifact resolution.</p>
      <p>It is expected to be extended by concrete repository implementation, like
        <a href="/ref/current/maven-resolver-provider/">Maven Artifact Resolver Provider</a> for Maven repositories
        or any other provider for other repository formats.
      </p>
