[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-847) Add an option to the DependencyResolver to resolve a single artifact (no version range)

Add an option to the DependencyResolver to resolve a single artifact (no version range) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-847 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-847 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Build Tools - Maven Affects Versions: 1.2.2.Final Reporter: James Perkins Fix For: 2.x Future 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.
