[jira] [Commented] (MRESOLVER-259) Enable the option of getting all dependencies names (including poms) without downloading them

Tamas Cservenak commented on MRESOLVER-259:
-------------------------------------------

Collect does this, but it has to download POMs to parse and get sibling dependencies.... still, no JARs are downloaded. Also, local repo is not used only for "installing" but is also a cache, see maybe split repository (that splits cached/installed) for example.

> Anyway, I'm building a dependencies resolving system, and for this, I need to get all of the transitive jars and *poms* needed for resolving a single artifact. I was looking at the demo on the `GetDependencyHierarchy` class, but when I use a function like `dependencyResult.getRequest().getCollectRequest().getManagedDependencies()` I only get a list of artifacts. No poms. I really need to list these poms and the only way I've figured out to do that was to add them from the listener class (through events). This is a pretty dirty way of doing this and I wonder if there's a way of getting the dependencies list including poms in an easier and cleaner way?
> My second request is to be able to do this without actually installing them. I don't need them locally and I just want this list. I currently delete the local folder after each resolving cycle, but this is dirty. Is there a way to resolve dependency and only get the list of the resolving result? Without some `localRepositoryManager`.
