[m1] Downloading an un-declared dependency

[Wendy Smoak <ja...@wendysmoak.com>]

(Last one, I promise, at least for this morning.)

Is there a way, in maven.xml, to do the equivalent of what maven does when 
you list a <dependency> in project.xml?

I have some dependencies that the build "knows" about, but that cannot be 
listed in project.xml.  (They're duplicates-- see the conditional dependency 
thread.)

I would love to be able to conditionally try to download the "right" ones 
into the local repository and fail the build if they can't be retrieved... 
just like Maven does.

I've found the list of Maven Jelly tags here, but nothing jumps out at me:
   http://maven.apache.org/reference/maven-jelly-tags/tags.html

Is there another reference I should be looking at?  Am I venturing into 
plugin creation at this point?  I was trying not to, but that seems like 
where I might be headed. :)

Thanks once again,

Hi Wendy,

No, not really. In Maven1, to do conditional downloads of dependencies you 
really need to split it up into subprojects (ie, shale-jsf-core which is 
your main code, shal-jsf-ri which is that rebundled with the RI, 
shale-jsf-myfaces which is rebundled with myfaces).

m2 has profiles for such things.

Hope this helps,
Brett
