Hi Dan, This is probably not really what you're looking for, but seems like a good time to mention it.
A feature was recently added to search.maven.org to assist with using a stable link to components in Central (for documentation and other spots where that is required) : given a group, artifact, and version (RELEASE, LATEST, or version number) a redirect is returned to the artifact in Central. For instance: $ curl -i " https://search.maven.org/remote_content?g=com.squareup.okhttp&a=okhttp&v=LATEST"; HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Server: nginx/0.8.55 Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:56:12 GMT Content-Type: text/plain Connection: keep-alive Location: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/squareup/okhttp/okhttp/2.2.0/okhttp-2.2.0.jar Content-Length: 0 $ curl -i " https://search.maven.org/remote_content?g=com.squareup.okhttp&a=okhttp&v=2.2.0"; HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Server: nginx/0.8.55 Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:01:37 GMT Content-Type: text/plain Connection: keep-alive Location: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/squareup/okhttp/okhttp/2.2.0/okhttp-2.2.0.jar Content-Length: 0 You can see an example of this in the OkHttp docs: https://github.com/square/okhttp Jason On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 9:15 PM, Dan Tran <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > Is there a API to convert a maven coordinate ( including snapshot) to a > URL? > > I would like the obtain the URL and and do the download myself > > > Thanks > > -Dan >
