How can I download Maven artifacts within a plugin?

Viewed 8979

I have a Maven plugin that takes a groupId, artifactId, and version in its confiugration.

I want to be able to download that artifact from the remote repositories and copy the file into the project. I can't figure out how to download the artifact though.

I understand that I can resolve dependencies using the dependency plugin, but I need it to happen inside my plugin. How can I do this?
