/**
* The contract to access artifacts/metadata in remote repositories. By implementing a
* {@link org.eclipse.aether.spi.connector.RepositoryConnectorFactory} and registering it with the repository system,
* an application can enable access to arbitrary remote repositories. It should be noted that a repository connector is
* powerful yet burdensome to implement. In many cases, implementing a
* {@link org.eclipse.aether.spi.connector.transport.TransporterFactory} or
* {@link org.eclipse.aether.spi.connector.layout.RepositoryLayoutFactory} will be sufficient and easier to access a
* custom remote repository.
