Hi all,
I want to announce a new plugin in the mojo sandbox:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/dependency-maven-plugin/introduction.html
This plugin can copy artifacts from the repository into a desired
location and currently operates separately from the normal dependancies.
(perfect for things you need but don't want on the classpath) It can get
the artifacts from the local or remote repositories and understands the
dependancyManagement section. It can explode those artifacts if desired.
The plugin is currently in alpha state, hence the sandbox, but has been
used in production by team and possibly a few others.
