currently implementing in rust:

• V a sax parser to read xml files (and existing xml binding in rust has trouble reading maven properties)
• V a dom parser to get a generic xml representation
• V a pom reader to get a maven specific representation
• V to find out what dependencies you have
• try default localRepository ~/.m2/repository
• load settings.xml
• search dependency in localRepository
• download dependency from remote repo's

Why rust and not a maven plugin?

• faster
• more challenges
• run it in docker as a separate step
