the Maven Repository Metadata file contains 3 different sets of metadata:

 [[1]] in a "groupId" directory: a "groupId" directory may contain Maven plugins artifacts, which are described in metadata's <<<plugins>>> element,

 [[2]] in a "groupId/artifactId" directory: metadata describes <<<groupId>>>, <<<artifactId>>> and <<<versioning>>> element that
       gives data about available versions (<<<latest>>>, <<<release>>>, <<<versions>>> list and <<<lastUpdated>>>),
