maven-external-dependency-plugin 0.4 RELEASED
The Maven External Dependency Plugin (Version 0.4) has been RELEASED and is now available on Maven Central!
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/savage7/maven/plugins/maven-external-dependency-plugin/0.4/
A few features have been added since I first wrote about this project, including extracting artifacts from downloaded ZIP files and validating artifact checksums against the Sonatype Maven repository as a cautionary measure to ensure that artifact group ID, artifact ID, version, and checksum do not conflict with some other existing artifact in the public repository.
Please check out the project site for more information:
