Alan, We are implementing at OPS4J Pax URL a simple osgi url handler (that you could use also outside osgi) based on Mercury. I started implementing it a while ago but then I run into problems with Mercury so was on hold for a while. But I will be back on development soon. Once ready the only thing you have to do is:
new URL(maven:org.mygroup:myartifact) and so, you get the input stream of your jar If the part where the jar is downloaded into your local repository is not a "must" you can use the current "mvn" url handler: http://wiki.ops4j.org//x/CoA6 On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 7:48 AM, Alan D.
