I have a POM containing dependencies. I run some plugin goals which are not bound to any lifecycle phase from this directory. Maven does not download dependencies specified in POM. My requirement is to download all dependencies specified in POM at this time. I understand that invoking "mvn install" from this directory will download all the dependencies. But I don't want to do that. I also tried antlib, but that too downloads only when I invoke "mvn install". Is there a possible solution?
