Hi list, Is there a way to tell maven to download all dependencies and output a classpath for a given artifact (or a list of artifacts) without having to create a project and its pom ?
The use case is to prototype or check classes with jshell. I would ideally want something like https://stackoverflow.com/a/47715029/2748664 but without a pom: Something like: jshell --class-path $( mvn dependency:build-classpath -DincludeTypes=jar \ -Dartifacts=\ com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.9.4,\ org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.7\ -q -Dmdep.outputFile=/dev/stdout ) I've seen try-artifact or the maven-jshell-plugin but I want to use something simpler (and more composable) Thanks in advance, Jon ps: it would also be useful to be able to display the dependency:tree of a given artifact without a pom. I suspect many more commands could be usefull. I'm mentioning this since it's the same maven-dependency-plugin..
