Download jar from maven repository without using Maven - maven

Question

I am looking for a library that can help me with K-means Vector Quantization. I found a website that offered hope.
http://www.lab4inf.fh-muenster.de/lab4inf/Lab4Drools/dependencies.html
The Lab4Math-1.0.5.jar has the required KmeansQuantization class.
But as see you from the first link, there is no direct download link for the "Lab4Math-1.0.5.jar".
Instead a maven repository is specified.
http://www.lab4inf.fh-muenster.de/lab4inf/maven-repository
Since iam a mobile app developer, i dont use Maven. I am looking for a way to download the jar in any other way. Please help.

Answer 1

Looks like there is a problem with the repository:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project demo: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.demo:demo:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT:
Failed to collect dependencies for [de.lab4inf:Lab4Math:jar:1.0.5 (compile)]:

Tried to retrieve the module metadata file and got a HTTP 403 error....
I was trying to follow the instructions for integrating Math4Lab and discovered it's out of date. Maven 3 forces the specification of a dependency version number and there is a little note at the bottom:
... This way you will have always the newest versions, if snapshots are enabled. At present no final Lab4Math version is available.
My conclusion is that this software is abandonware...
Example
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.demo</groupId>
<artifactId>demo</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>de.lab4inf</groupId>
<artifactId>Lab4Math</artifactId>
<version>1.0.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>

Answer 2

I was able to download the mentioned jar using the following pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.demo</groupId>
<artifactId>demo</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>tf</name>
<description>Testing Lab4Math</description>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>Lab4Inf</id>
<url>http://www.lab4inf.fh-muenster.de/lab4inf/maven-repository</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>de.lab4inf</groupId>
<artifactId>Lab4Math</artifactId>
<version>2.0.5-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Note that the only important difference with the accepted answer is the version of the library. (2.0.5-SNAPSHOT instead of 1.0.5)
