Free Online Maven Download Tool - Download JAR dependencies and transitive dependencies as ZIP

I've built a free online Maven download tool that helps developers download Maven JAR dependencies along with all their transitive dependencies as a single ZIP file.

Why I built this: I needed to regularly download Maven JARs and their transitive dependencies for my projects that has tons of dependencies and whenever I add a new feature and its dependencies change, I need to download newly added dependencies with their transitive dependencies. I used to use other tools (jar-download.com) but it is paid now, so I created a completely free, open-source alternative that doesn't store any data and works entirely client-side.

Live Demo: https://maven-tools.mohants.com/

GitHub: https://github.com/pmg1991/maven-tools

Features

Client-side dependency resolution : It happens entirely in your browser

Transitive dependency resolution : Automatically resolves all transitive dependencies including parent POMs

Version conflict resolution : Uses depth-based conflict resolution (shallowest depth wins) same as mvn

Dependency tree visualization : Displays hierarchical dependency tree with conflict information and direct download links

ZIP download : Download all resolved JARs as a single ZIP file

No data retention : Your XML is never stored - everything happens client-side

Netlify Edge Functions : Serverless proxy for Maven Central with streaming support

How It Works

  1. Paste your Maven dependencies in XML format
  2. Click "Resolve Jars" to resolve all transitive dependencies
  3. View the dependency tree with direct download links
  4. Click "Download All as ZIP" to download all resolved JARs

Use Cases

  • Quickly download dependencies for offline development
  • Bundle dependencies for deployment
  • Analyze dependency trees and conflicts

The tool is completely free, open-source (MIT License), and doesn't store any of your data. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
