Hi folks,
I try to stay clear from advocating Maven but you can also use ANT to
download JARs from a remote repository ... :-)
check out
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ws-xmlrpc/build.xml?rev=1.33
and have a closer look at "copy-deps" target
Cheers,
Siegfried Goeschl

Maybe this will convince you not to do it :) :

Sorry mate, unsubstantiated criticisms directed at the developers from
a guy who has to vent bile by his own definition don't really compete
with experience.
People who don't like Maven generally don't like it because they can't
be bothered to use it, don't work well in a structured enviroment, and
can't stand to have their failings highlighted by a machine.
Maven may not be pretty, but it works. It helps to manage
dependancies, documentation, and quality standards, and can save a
whole load of time and effort being wasted doing things by hand.
I guess you'd rather write your own variation of an ant build.xml
differently for every project, manage dependancies in hand written
documentation and store your jars in cvs just in case you want to do
something "special".
In my experience the special thing becomes the weakness in your project.
