To download any artifact use

mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=groupId:artifactId:version:packaging:classifier

For Groovy sources this would be

mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.6:jar:sources

For Groovy’s javadoc you would use

mvn dependency:get -Dartifact=org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.6:jar:javadoc
