retrieving jar with highest version

["Brane F. Gračnar" <bf...@interseek.si>]

Hello there ;)

First, i have to mention, that i'm just system administrator, not 
developer, so please, excuse me for the following stupid question.

I would like to retrieve jar with highest version number from our 
central maven repository using mvn command to some directory on a 
filesystem.

It this possible with single mvn command or i will have to write pom.xml 
with assembly goal?

Best regards, Brane

Repositories have metadata xml files from where you can retrieve the highest number. It is usually pretty straightforward downloading the metadata file, extracting the information and constructing the required version number.
