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: Brian Fox
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. I find that to
test them I have to create a dummy POM file with a <pluginRepositories>
section, as described in our guide to testing staged releases.

I thought it would be cool to have a downloader goal that let you do this:
mvn dependency:get
-Dartifact=org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.1
-DrepoUrl=http://people.apache.org/~olamy/staging-repo
That would retrieve the plugin into your local repository, so you could
immediately start using it.
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.1:checkin -Dmessage=foo
