Download a maven artifact to directory

maven-to-directory.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Background: This is useful to download executable JARs,
# so wie can use Artifactory+Maven like an "App Store for Java services".

# This will download the newest version,
# but you can also declare a specific version number.

VERSION="LATEST"
ARTIFACT="com.hazelcast:hazelcast-all:$VERSION:jar"

# Docs: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-mojo.html
mvn dependency:copy -U -Dartifact=$ARTIFACT \
  -DoutputDirectory=$HOME \
  -Dmdep.useBaseVersion=true \
  -Dmdep.stripVersion=true

# Now you should be able to run it like that:
# $ java -jar $HOME/hazelcast-all.jar
