>                 Key: MDEP-184
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-184
>             Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 2.0
>            Reporter: creyle
>            Assignee: Brian Fox
>
> I want a new goal like 
>   "mvn dependency:get -DgroupId=... -DartifactId=... -Dversion=... -Dclassifier=..."
> This goal is very helpful to have local dependencies managed by maven, especially for us in such an imperfect world that not every project has adopted maven.
> By running the above command, the corresponding artifact would be downloaded into local maven repository.
> groupId -- required
> artifactId -- required
> version -- optional, download the latest release if omitted
> classifier -- optional, this should be artifact specific, some may require a classifier, some may not.
> The idea is from the discussion in the maven users list, thread http://www.nabble.com/-M2--Manually-download-artifact--td19949345.html
> Thanks Wendy for the idea
