• httplib2 - for caching

Usage

Common Syntax

Create a comma separated file names artifacts.csv in your project with he following syntax:

<group>,<artifactId>,<version>,<fingerprint>

Version Variables

If you have multiple artifacts sharing the same version, thenm you may want to use version variables. Declare them with

<versionVariable>=<version>
smackVersion=4.1.7

After that, you can use $<versionVariable> everywhere instead of the version String, e.g.

org.igniterealtime.smack,smack-tcp,$smackVersion,1357B01865B2503C18453D208CAC2A9678548E35

Invocation

Use

getMavenArtifactsNG.py -p <projectdir>

to download the artifacts

Legacy Script
