Multiple Versions of an Artifact
Is it possible to force maven to download multiple versions of a
dependency artifact? I tried listing multiple dependencies with the same
group/artifact but different versions, and on dependency with multiple
version elements, and in either case it would only download one version of
the dependency.
I realize this is kind of a weird requirement, but we're trying to
set up a script to download all of the dependencies for a number of
projects and plugins at once, and the plugins in particular depend on
several different versions of the same Jelly tags, etc.
Thanks,
Aaron

If you're not set on Maven doing the heavy lifting, I'd suggest doing
it with a separate script. For example, I think this would be a
relative piece of cake for Perl and its XML::LibXML package; I suspect
just about any other scripting language would prove just as easy.
Contact me off-list if you want me to go into more detail.
