Get a list of available versions for an artifact in the remote repository

Parameters:

artifact - artifact we are interested in. Only groupid and artifactId are needed, for instance the following code will work artifactFactory.createProjectArtifact( "org.apache.maven", "maven", "" )

localRepository - local repository

remoteRepositories - remote repositories, List $lt; ArtifactRepository >

Returns:

List $lt; ArtifactVersion >

Throws:

ArtifactMetadataRetrievalException - in case of error while retrieving repository metadata from the repository.

Get a list of available versions for an artifact in the remote deployment repository. This ignores any update policy checks and mirrors and always retrieves the latest information from the given repository.

Parameters:

artifact - artifact we are interested in. Only groupid and artifactId are needed, for instance the following code will work artifactFactory.createProjectArtifact( "org.apache.maven", "maven", "" )

localRepository - local repository

remoteRepository - remote repository

Returns:

List $lt; ArtifactVersion >

Throws:

ArtifactMetadataRetrievalException - in case of error while retrieving repository metadata from the repository.
