Hello Igor!

I profiled Eclipse with the JProfiler. I saw that there is a huge amount of
instances of org.sonatype.aether packages. Examples:

org.sonatype.aether.util.artifact.DefaultArtifact   320.936
org.sonatype.aether.graph.Dependency                319.204
org.sonatype.aether.graph.Exclusion                 766.653

It seems to me that these counts are very high. Is the complete dependency
graph hold in every project although parts of the graph are the same for
several projects? Couldn't these instances be shared if they refer to the
same thing (artifact, dependency...) in maven?

Best regards
Björn
