Downloads the specified artifacts for the build execution.
The task will put the specified artifact files under the build directory and makes them available to the build execution.
Artifact "downloading" doesn't necessarily involve network communication. Downloading is merely retrieving the artifacts from the Maven repository or its cache.
This task doesn't perform any dependency resolution. To resolve dependencies, use the saker.maven.resolve() task.

Artifact
Specifies one or more artifact coordinates to be downloaded.The artifact coordinates are expected in the <groupId>:<artifactId>[:<extension>[:<classifier>]]:<version> format.

This parameter accepts the output of the saker.maven.resolve() task to download the resolved artifacts.
Specifies the configuration to use during the operation.
The parameter can be used to specify the local repository path, and the configuration for remote repositories.
If no configuration is specified, the task will use the local repository at {user.home}/.m2/repository, and the remote repository from Maven Central: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/
