Hi, I've spent considerable time on researching this, but to no avail. The closest answer that I have found was on Stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11674537/retrieving-maven-artifact-from-repository-using-maven-java-api). But it points me to Eclipse Aether, which has been archived, so it seems out-dated and not the way to go.
I also found the "Aether re-integration page" (http://maven.apache.org/aether.html) and had a look at "Maven Resolver Provider" (https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.0/maven-resolver-provider/apidocs/index.html?org/apache/maven/repository/internal/MavenRepositorySystemUtils.html), the "resurrected Aether". What irritates me, however, is that there doesn't seem to be any connection between the "Maven Resolver Provider" and the main part of the API. So I wonder if this is just some "left-over". Considering the "main parts" of the Maven API, I think I should be able to start things by creating a LocalArtifactRepository (https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.0/apidocs/index.html), but this is, of course, not possible, it's abstract. The concrete subclass UserLocalArtifactRepository isn't of much help, it requires a repository as constructor argument. All other classes that implement "ArtifactRepository" are deprecated. Which is a pity, because something like "DefaultArtifactRepository" looks exactly like what I need. But I'm hesitant to start a new project centering around a deprecated class. So, I'm at loss. All I want to do is retrieve some artifacts and their POMs from a remote repository, using the ~/.m2/repository as cache, as usual. The ArtifactRepository interface (https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.0/apidocs/index.html) seems perfect for this. How can I get an object that implements it?
