title: Using Maven to just download JARs
body: <p>I would like to have Maven download the JARs listed in a pom.xml file.  How do I do that?  Currently, Maven wants to compile the project (and it fails).  I don't care about compiling it because I'm compiling manually.  I just want the JARS.  Help?</p>

  <p>ps: Background, I am compiling it manually because I can easily debug the project in Eclipse.  I've manually downloaded a bunch of JAR files, but I suspect there's a JAR version mismatch as there's a mysterious error at runtime.  I would do this checking manually, but there are hundreds of associated JAR files.  Ideally, I want to download all the JAR files, point my Eclipse project to the newly download JARS, and get on with my life.  :)</p>
