The Artifact#initialize function defined on artifact.rb has a File.exist?
validation at line 313
if the artifact doesnt exist, the download method is called. Note that the
block given to
task.enhance is executed once the artifact task is invoked:
artifact("arti:fact:1.0:jar").invoke
which is done by rake for any task depending on an artifact.
