/**
 * A repository that looks into a number of directories for artifacts. The artifacts are expected to be located in the root of the specified directories.
 * The repository ignores any group/organization information specified in the dependency section of your build script. If you only use this kind of
 * resolver you can specify your dependencies like <code>:junit:4.8.1</code> instead of <code>junit:junit:4.8.1</code>.
 *
 * <p>To resolve a dependency, this resolver looks for one of the following files. It will return the first match it finds:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>[artifact]-[version].[ext]
 * <li>[artifact]-[version]-[classifier].[ext]
 * <li>[artifact].[ext]
 * <li>[artifact]-[classifier].[ext]
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * So, for example, to resolve <code>:junit:junit:4.8.1</code>, this repository will look for <code>junit-4.8.1.jar</code> and then <code>junit.jar</code>.
