Question about artifact resolution

[Matthew Beermann <mb...@yahoo.com>]

So, I'm writing a mojo where (for various strange reasons) I need to construct and resolve Artifacts manually, during mojo execution. My first attempt at the code looked something like:

Artifact a = artifactFactory.createDependencyArtifact(...);
artifactResolver.resolve(a, ...);

This works beautifully, so long as you supply the ArtifactFactory with a /definite/ version number. If you attempt to use a version range or a keyword like RELEASE, LATEST, etc, everything blows up. From reading through the source code, the resolve() method is expecting the artifact to already have a definite version number. (There's a shortcut optimization to look directly inside the local repository before triggering a download.)

So my question is, what am I doing wrong here? How do I trigger Maven's code for locating the most appropriate version given a range/keyword/etc? Is there a helper or utility class for all of this somewhere?

maybe MavenMetadataSource.retrieveAvailableVersions() or
ArtifactCollector.collect can help you
