Repositories have metadata xml files from where you can retrieve the highest number. It is usually pretty straightforward downloading the metadata file, extracting the information and constructing the required version number.

I would like to retrieve jar with highest version number from our central maven repository using mvn command to some directory on a filesystem. It this possible with single mvn command or i will have to write pom.xml with assembly goal?
