>             Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: unpack
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.1
>            Reporter: Mickael Istria

> As a user, I'd like to download a Maven artifact from command-line and get it unzipped.
> In order to use the maven-depdenceny-plugin:goal as the ultimate command-line client to download a maven artifact (not necessarly in the context of a project), it would be useful to add to it an "unpack" parameter that would allow to unpack the just-downloaded stuff.
> When in comes to automating download+unzip of an artifact in CI:
> Currently, one has to add a Shell or Ant or Groovy script to unzip, after using "mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.5.1:get -Dartifact=blah:blah:1.0 -DremoteRepositories=http://somewhere". It's not very convenient as this requires usage of another Ant or Groovy file, or usage of a platform-specific interpreter.
> Also note that the unpack-mojo can't fit this use-case since it's not configurable via command-line (can't set artifactItems nor remoteRepositories).
