Brian, the dependency plugin works, but there are a few issues that I need to address for my client:
1. I am dealing with large artifacts ( order of 100M like installer ), download this type of snappshot artifacts thru dependency will consume large amount diskspace over time. But this can be resolved via another plugin ( not yet develop ) to purge the artifact location in local repo. 2. Even if issue in one can be resolved in another plugin, my user will need to configure bunch of configurations in the pom dependency, maven-dependency-plugin, purge plugin, and my plugin. Now if can achieve what I need in initial email then they only need to configure my plugin alone, which is much nicer. any how, I you know away to get the direct URL please let me know Thanks for the inputs. -D On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 8:39 PM, Dan Tran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > to use dependency plugin, user have to declare the artifact as > dependency. for my case, I would like to > allow user to pass them in as -D properties > > do you think we can overwrite the dependency value as properties? any > how let me try this method first. > > Thanks > > -D > > > > > On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 8:29 PM, Brian E.
