title: Is it possible to explicity tell maven to download and install an artifact to the local repository?
body: <p>Yes I read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/884808/">Utility for downloading artifacts from maven repo without mvn/poms</a> and other related questions, but I don't want to install the file manually. Actually I want to have something like a <em>wget</em> for maven, which fetches an artifact (with dependencies) and puts it somewhere or installs it in the local repository. Is the maybe a plugin available which does this?</p>
