Hiran Chaudhuri commented on MNG-6523:
--------------------------------------
There is a project that I'd like to base my work on. Unfortunately that project
uses Gradle and does not publish the resulting jar anywhere such that Maven can
pull it as normal dependency.
To still use that jar, I'd like to regularly download the latest jar and use it
as local dependency. Even more, I cannot use a system-installed jar file
because I want my project to build on different developer machines and the
CI/CD server. Hence adding such jars to the project or downloading the latest
version through Ant scripts would be very much welcome. AFAIK once the jar is
downloaded, the feature described above is still needed so Maven can add it to
the compile/test/whatever classpath.
