Some hints :
if you can use ant : check for the maven ant tasks which enable you to
download dependencies (at least). They are downloadable on the maven
site maven.apache.org.
If you can only use some jars in a java environment, then maybe you are
searching for something like the embedder. For it you have to : checkout
the project maven-embedder in the maven SCM or create a maven project
which depends on it.
Hope that helps,

Hello developer's,
i'm in the need to write a small tool which is able to read for a
description file in a remote repository, wherat in this description
file a set of jars is listed which the tool should retrieve afterwards.
So very similar to a maven pom model... but it should be startable
from command line without a installed maven.
My idea is to utilize maven respectively your plugin to be able to
lookup for a normal pom in a maven2 repository and then download the
needed jar's to a local dir.
The reason why i can't use just maven is, that i'm not in the position
to install maven where my tool should get used.
Am i understandable ?
Am i at the right place here ?
Could someone give me a hint where to start ?
best regards Johannes
