import jar from Maven coordinates

[vietj]

would be nice to be able to do something like:

ceylon import-jar maven:io.vertx:vertx-core:3.1.0.jar

supporting maven coordinates (including classifiers)

that would avoid to have to copy them locally from a maven repository first.

Yes, and it would use the pom.xml dependencies as well, I guess, to produce a module.xml file for it.

The question is should it add it in the jar too? Possibly also generate the OSGi info?

[vietj]

it should be possible to override module.xml and provide it like the current tool is doing
