The Artifactory REST API supports downloading the latest Maven version for both releases and snapshots.
For snapshots you should use the following format in the Ansible url field:

http://localhost:8081/artifactory/ivy-local/org/acme/1.0-[SNAPSHOT]/acme-1.0-[SNAPSHOT].jar

For releases you should use the following format:

http://localhost:8081/artifactory/ivy-local/org/acme/[RELEASE]/acme-[RELEASE].jar
