Fetching a Jar from the maven remote repo using Ant

["Moretti, Luciano (MED)" <Lu...@med.ge.com>]

Ok, what I'm trying to do is a little odd-

I've got some people who will need to build using ant (not Maven) but we
require a jar out of the repository.  Instead of maintaining multiple
copies (which is what we do now with most stuff) I'd like to only have a
single copy in the maven repo that is fetched by the ant build.

So is there a way Using only ant to fetch a file from the maven repo to
the local filesystem?

Yes. Use 'maven ant' to generate your build script. It uses the ant 
'get' task to fetch remote files. You might have to edit the build.xml a 
bit though, try it and see if it works for you; the script doesnt do 
everything maven can. It only uses the first remote repository for 
downloads, and doesnt use a local repo at all.
