Why don't you just specify that dependency in the plugin's pom? Or let the users specify it in a <dependencies> section in the <plugin> section in their pom? There is a way to do this however, but it's strongly discouraged because it should be Maven's job to handle dependencies and configuring the runtime environment. That said: take a look at the maven-eclipse-plugin's usage of the ArtifactManager.. See https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-artifact-manager It can download artifacts and give you the filename. -- Kenney > Hi, > > as the plugin developer list over at codehaus seems to be down, I hope to > get an answer here: > > I want to get the full absolute path to some artifact in the local > repository.
