Basic Usage

"Artifact" goal

Meant to be used from anywhere on the system to download an artifact at a specific location. Does not need a pom file to be run and can be used directly from the command line. Can be an alternative to maven-dependency-plugin:get or maven-depdendency-plugin:unpack mojoes.

mvn com.googlecode.maven-download-plugin:maven-download-plugin:artifact -DgroupId=com.googlecode -DartifactId=maven-download-plugin -Dversion=0.1 -DoutputDirectory=temp

"WGet" goal

This is meant to provide the necessary tooling for downloading anything in your Maven build without having to use Ant scripts. It provides caching and signature verification.
