>
> It is a good idea of having an ANT plugin to retrieve dependencies from a
> Maven repository. However, the task <artifact:dependencies> apparently needs
> to find a POM for every artifact it needs to retrieve.
> A solution for dependencies that don't have a POM is to use another
> dependency manager (Ivy, Savant, ...), but the problem with this is that the
> ANT scripting becomes more cumbersome (use Maven Antlib for dependency A, use
> Ivy for dependency B, ...).
> I think it would be a great improvement in the Maven antlib (currently
> alpha-3) to have an optional attribute for every <dependency> that would
> indicate that only the dependency should be retrieved and that for example
> POM retrieval & validation shouldn't be done, as illustrated in the following
> extract of my ANT script:
>
> ...
> <artifact:dependencies>
> <!-- POM retrieval & validation & dependency retrieval -->
> <dependency groupId="sis2" artifactId="sis2-common" version="0.1" />
> <!-- only dependency retrieval -->
> <dependency groupId="sis2" artifactId="sis2-web" version="0.1"
> nopom="true" />
> </artifact:dependencies>
> ...
