This may relate to the Provisioner service topic. We already have a component that understands Maven coordinates and can provide named resources. If you are thinking of a special ModuleLoader that can fetch modules on demand then this loader should preferably simply call the Repository IMHO. In the near future it could call the Provisioner service with the top level Requirements.

Don't what this means either ;-) but I regularly talk with him so I can probably find out
