Then snag commons-net, or many of the other ftp client libraries and roll your own artifact downloader. Probably wouldn't take that long and I'm sure there may be others. There's actually a small self-contain ftp client included with the jetty extras if you're interested. > I know that we cannot use tools that depend on the standard layout, but > hey, if we could use Maven already, for us it is quite a progress! > If we can first convince the decision makers that using Maven is a good > thing, maybe aiming at a standard repository layout can be our next > goal ;-) We've had many requests for customizations that are just not possible in the old maven code. Pretty much everything that's been requested is possible in maven-new. But the last thing I want to see is N different layouts. Downloaders are not so much a problem and can be contained in a small jar and you can just drop the component in if you need to. -- jvz.
