Checking if an artifact exists in the local repository
Hi,
How do I check from within a Mojo if an artifact already exists in the local
repository?
I'm installing large binaries into the local Maven repository and I need to
know if they already exist before attempting to download them.
Thanks,
Gili

I ended up checking file sizes as you suggested.
Thanks,

up to you, but if I was downloading large stuff from non maven repositories,
I'd add checks for interrupted downloads.

Thanks Stephen.
I'm going to forgo checking for timestamps in my case because I'm grabbing
files off sourceforge and (I assume) each mirror will use its own timestamp.
Regarding checking for size, is there really a need? Once someone makes an
official release (on Maven or SourceForge) don't we operate under the
assumption that it's immutable? Users can always delete artifacts from their
local repository in case of corruption but I think that is going to be
extremely rare. Am I wrong?

you could try and resolve the file from the local repository and an empty
set of remote repositories... if the file resolves, then I'd check the size
and time stamp and only then decide what to do
