> Currently {{org.jboss.forge.project.dependencies.DependencyResolver}} only has a option to return a list of dependencies. This results in version range query which requires the repository to have a {{maven-metadata.xml}} file. It would be useful to have something like:
> {code:java}
> public DependencyResource resolveArtifact(Dependency dependency)
> {code}
> This would allow for a specific version to be looked up. It also would have better performance when a dependency version is defined.
> Currently using a repository that does not have metadata files does not work. For example http://maven.repository.redhat.com/earlyaccess/all/ cannot be used due to this issue. Which means no EAP dependencies cannot be downloaded from a Forge plugin.
