You're right, I didn't answer your original question. The different is
because "mvn validate compile" and/or "mvn compile" is a single invocation
of maven and dependencies are resolved once (by default, w/o any other
plugins/configuration). "mvn validate; mvn compile" are 2 separate
invocations of maven; the first one does your "download external,
non-mavenised" business, which makes those dependencies available for the
second.

I still suggest you read Steven's post as you're question/problem indicates
you're heading down the not-uncommon path of trying to script your build
(like we all did in the Ant days) vs. giving into The Maven Way. There's
lots of similar conversations in the list archives, the blog post is the
result of many such "debates". I'll apologize in advance if this is not
your case.

Cheers,
Doug
