Given that dependencies are downloaded BEFORE compilation step, I don't know why you couldn't create an empty project with on source code, create a pom that specified dependencies you want to download, and then run "mvn -U compile" to download the files.
It will probably error out when it hits the compile step due to "no source files to compile" but that is easy to ignore. I'm also curious, what's the use case for this functionality? Wayne On 5/10/06, dan tran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
