this already exists - is it what was wanted?

Is it still needed when plugin dependencies can be used?

Description:
Create a plugin capable of downloading and installing 3rd party plugins.

Ideally it would work like this:

maven plugin:download http://crazybob.com/plugin-aptdoc-1.0.jar

Which would download and unpack the plugin

Things to be done
1) Make maven take command line arguments properly (could be stuffed into a list in the context / arg.0 arg.1 etc
2) Create the new goals (make sure they are proxy aware - HttpUtils
3) Profit!


Ultimately for known plugins we should be able to do
maven plugin:download maven-aptdoc-plugin

But that is a fair way away at the moment
