If I have a Maven Artifact information (GroupId, ArtifactId, Version) how can I programmatically (using Java) retrieve that Artifact from my local repository? Specifically, I need to be able to connect to the Maven Repository and create/retrieve a org.apache.maven.artifact.Artifact so I can retrieve the file associated with the Artifact. I have looked into m2e source code, but the MavenImpl.java (which provides Artifact resolution) is way more complex than what I need and it is difficult to understand how the connection to the repository works.

In my current project we use some plugins needed by other plugins parameters like properties-maven-plugin or buildnumber-plugin. <?xml version="1.0"?> <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>mygroup</groupId> <artifactId>myartifact</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <version>v0</version> <name>myProject</name> <properties> <env>dev</env> </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>properties-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-alpha-2</version> <configuration> <files> <file>${basedir}/configurations/${env}.properties</file> <

Edit 20140716 : Solution found tl;dr = exec-maven-plugin does not recognise .cmd files, but only .bat files, as executable scripts. Rename grunt.cmd --> grunt.bat , bower.cmd --> bower.bat , etc. as a workaround. Having done npm install -g grunt-cli on my system, grunt is most certainly on the PATH When I run maven install however, this doesn't seem to register.

I am working on converting an Ant execution of the SoapUI TestRunner to use the maven plugin and I cannot get a good answer on how to execute multiple projects using this plugin. I found a forum post from 2010 on the Smartbear forum and there are a few approaches listed but none seem very workable (writing some script to invoke maven with different parameters or adding an execution for every project). Are there any best practices for working around this? Or has anyone seen an inventive solution to this problem? I would guess that this is a large scale problem... Here is the post I am refering

I'm trying to create a maven plugin to generate a file with the URL to all the dependencies in a project. I have been able to get the dependencies and their artifact, but I'm having trouble getting the download URL. Using ArtifactResolver and ArtifactMetadataSource I get some of the artifact information. However I fail to get all the information for all the dependencies. I haven't been able to find documentation on the resolution logic, so that I can call it form my plugin. I can use an ArtifactResolver to download the artifact, but what I really wanted was just the URL. The Maven Artifact API
