Hi, if it exists on the remote repo, I would like to retrieve the POM of the current project in order to compare it with a local version.
As answered yesterday to a question of Christoph Läubrich, the right entry point for this seems to be org.eclipse.aether.RepositorySystem. However, it only offers `resolveArtifact()` which does not let me specify the path and might return the POM from the local repository... If I dig deeper I find org.eclipse.aether.spi.connector.RepositoryConnector which might do the job. However, it is part of the SPI and not the API. What would be the correct way to retrieve a artifact (or specifically a POM) to a temporary file or into memory? What am I trying to do? Implementing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEPLOY-118. By the way: I am still patiently waiting for an answer to my previous question, whether you would be interested in a pull request for that issue. Regards, Mathias
