Getting an artifact when you only have its coordinates is easy. Look

You can use dependency:unpack:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/unpack-mojo.html

I don't understand this one. Just name the artifct of the project
you're working on differently than this artifact you're talking about.

A more concrete example may help us to provide better answers.
