Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Artifact

✓ from maven_artifact import Artifact

✗ from maven_artifact import MavenArtifact

Resolver

✓ from maven_artifact import Resolver

Downloader

✓ from maven_artifact import Downloader

Basic usage: instantiate a GAV, create MavenArtifact, download the JAR, and resolve dependencies.

from maven_artifact import MavenArtifact, GAV # Define a Maven artifact coordinate (group:artifact:version) gav = GAV('com.google.guava', 'guava', '31.0.1-jre') # Create a MavenArtifact instance with default Maven Central artifact = MavenArtifact(gav) # Download the artifact JAR file (returns path to local file) jar_path = artifact.download() print(f'Downloaded JAR to: {jar_path}') # Resolve transitive dependencies (returns list of GAV) deps = artifact.resolve_dependencies() for dep in deps: print(dep)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe GAV class expects all three components (group, artifact, version). Do not include colon separators — pass them as separate arguments.

fix

Use GAV('com.example', 'my-lib', '1.0.0') instead of GAV('com.example:my-lib:1.0.0')

affects: all

gotchaResolving dependencies can be slow for large projects with many transitive dependencies because it downloads and parses POM files. Consider using caching or limiting depth.

fix

Set cache_dir parameter in MavenArtifact: artifact = MavenArtifact(gav, cache_dir='/tmp/maven-cache')

affects: all

deprecatedThe method 'download_artifact' is deprecated in favor of 'download' since version 0.3.0.

fix

Use artifact.download() instead of artifact.download_artifact()

affects: >=0.3.0
