One "easy" method is to simply make a pom, specify your artifact as a dependency, and run "mvn dependency:go-offline".
IIRC, someone wrote a little shell script to create a pom.xml and then run go-offline against it, then delete it for this exact purpose and sent it to the list, but I don't remember details so it will be hard to find and easier to just re-write if you want that functionality. If you do this, please contribute it back via the Wiki. ;-) Wayne On 2/13/08, kroe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > MNG-2261 is making creating projects using an archetype difficult.
