While I don't think I would personally use the reasons you want this plugin, I have several times before wanted to be able to materialize a project's source tree from a GAV coordinate. In my mind, I had seen this as mojos for m-dependency-p, where it already has the notion of copying dependencies and otherwise working with them, some examples: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/ mvn dependency:materialize -DgroupId=g -DartifactId=a -Dversion=v OR -Ddependency=g:a:v mvn dependency:materialize-dependencies I agree, it would be great if it could locate the artifact using standard resolution, download parent chain, figure out the scm, then use maven-scm to check the version out (trunk if none specified). For materialize-dependencies, it should do that for all dependencies specified. -Jesse -- There are 10 types of people in this world, those that can read binary and those that can not. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
