back to listing indexA simple command line to download a remote maven2 artifact to the local repository?
[web search]

I have a library that I distribute using maven 2. The typical user of this library doesn't use maven to build their applications, but is likely somewhat familiar with maven and probably has it installed. I'd like to document a "simple" one line command they can use to download my library's artifacts to their local I thought there was a way to do this, but I can't seem to find it after looking through the but I think I'm barking up the wrong tree since it appears that the install plugin is used to copy locally built files into the local repository, rather than download remote artifacts into the local repository. This is the artifact I'd like to install: http://download.java.net/maven/2/robo-guice/robo-guice/0.4-SNAPSHOT/ Is this possible using maven? |

Since version 2.1 of the Maven Dependency Plugin, there is a dependency:get goal for this purpose. To make sure you are using the right version of the plugin, you'll need to use the "fully qualified name": mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.1:get \
-DrepoUrl=http://download.java.net/maven/2/ \
-Dartifact=robo-guice:robo-guice:0.4-SNAPSHOT

Give them a trivial pom with these jars listed as dependencies and instructions to run: This will pull the dependencies to the local repo. A more direct solution is dependency:get, but it's a lot of arguments to type: |

As of version 2.4 of the Maven Dependency Plugin, you can also define a target destination for the artifact by using the -Ddest flag. It should point to a filename (not a directory) for the destination artifact. See the parameter page for additional parameters that can be used |
