How to simply download a JAR using Maven?

Question

How do I download JAR during a build in Maven script?

Answer 1

Note: This answer is for downloading the jars directly from maven without any scripts [That is how Google directed me here]

Assuming mvn dependency is like this:

    com.zaxxer
    HikariCP
    2.4.7

Goto http://search.maven.org and search for g:"com.zaxxer" AND a:"HikariCP" AND v:"2.4.7" (simply searching for HikariCP also works. You may need to select the appropriate GroupId and Version from the results)

In the Search Results -> Download column, you should see jar javadoc.jar sources.jar available for direct download
