It is easy to use standalone ivy to download dependencies as along the artifact type is jar.
java -jar ivy.jar -settings ivysettings.xml -dependency groupId artifactId version -retrieve "/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"
But how I can tell ivy the other artifact type like (war or zip) if use ivy module file is not an option. In the example above ivysettings.xml contains only settings for local maven repository explained here
