> 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>
> ...
