Michael, Have a look at my Maven Repository Provisioner codebase. It does exactly what you want and also includes dependencies and upload to a repo manager.
It now uses the Maven Resolver in the latest version so its up to date.. https://github.com/simpligility/maven-repository-tools Specifically look at https://github.com/simpligility/maven-repository-tools/blob/master/maven-repository-provisioner/src/main/java/com/simpligility/maven/provisioner/ArtifactRetriever.java Manfred simpligility.com Michael Lipp wrote on 2019-04-06 06:07: > Hi, > > I've spent considerable time on researching this, but to no avail.
