download of a Maven artifact with dependencies from Nexus using the command line
<p>I'm using the command below to download a maven jar from Nexus through the command line. </p>

<pre><code>call mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:get -DrepoUrl=http://10.101.15.190:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/ -Dartifact=bits:update-service:1.0.3 -Ddest=Setups/Services/update-service.jar
</code></pre>

<p>But what I get is a jar without dependencies. There is already a jar with dependencies in Maven with the name <code>update-service-1.0.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar</code></p>

<p>I tried the following:</p>

<pre><code>call mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:get -DrepoUrl=http://10.101.15.190:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/ -Dartifact=bits:update-service:1.0.3[:packaging[:jar]] -Ddest=Setups/Services/update-service.jar
</code></pre>

<p>But it returns the following error:</p>

<pre><code>[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:get (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: Couldn't download artifact: Missing:
