[aether-users] is it possible create Artifact only from POM? not via com

[<e92-330cd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

AFAIK the only way how construct proper aether Artifact  model with all information is by command:

result = system.resolveArtifact(session, artifactRequest).getArtifact();

- I am traing to AVOID downloading whole JAR files...due time optimalization. But I need basic Artifact coordinates  + all dependencies.

- My only idea is do it via getDirectDependency command:

Artifact artifact = new DefaultArtifact( "org.eclipse.aether:aether-impl:1.0.0.v20140518" );

ArtifactDescriptorRequest descriptorRequest = new ArtifactDescriptorRequest();

descriptorRequest.setArtifact( artifact );

descriptorRequest.setRepositories( Booter.newRepositories( system, session ) );

ArtifactDescriptorResult descriptorResult = system.readArtifactDescriptor( session, descriptorRequest );

Artifact a = descriptorResult.getArtifact();

Any better solution? :)

Thanks
