MvnQuery

MvnQuery fetches a Maven repository index and queries it. By default it uses Maven Central repository index and the index data are stored to ${HOME}/.mvnquery

The artifacts returned by the query are listed by default in format groupId:artifactId:version:packaging:classifier. If you want to see the lastModified timestamp in the result use -t program parameter. Then the output format is groupId:artifactId:version:packaging:classifier:lastModifiedTimestamp

The MvnQuery is based on apache/maven-indexer project.
