Dan Fabulich commented on MDEP-178: ----------------------------------- I added a transitive option. -Dtransitive=false will do what you want. You can always change the localRepository for Maven globally with -Dmaven.repo.local=/home/blah/myRepo. (If you just want to put a jar in your target directory and not in any local repository at all, you probably want dependency:copy instead.) > Create a goal to download single artifact transitively > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MDEP-178 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-178 > Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Dan Fabulich > Assignee: Dan Fabulich > Fix For: 2.1 > > > I've always found it to be a hassle to test plugins that don't need to be > wired up in POM files, e.g. the archetype, dependency, scm plugins.
