How can I copy artifacts with all dependencies from one maven repository into another?

Here is my use case: I am building a project that can only read from Repository A. I have permission to add any artifacts I want into this repository, but I don't have administrative rights to manage Repository A. Unfortunately, this repository currently lacks most of the artifacts I need.

Copying artifacts with dependencies from repo1.maven.org into this Repository A using maven deploy:deploy-file is time consuming. Is there a tool that handles this problem for me?

I could even build a hybrid project (maven project with both repositories) for purposes of copying. But I am restricted to using Repository A for the production projects automated build and run.

What type of a repository is Repository A - a simple http server or a repository manager like nexus? If latter, you should be able to populate Repository A automagically through simple configuration. – Raghuram
As I said, I don't have administrative access to Repository A. All I have is deploy:deploy-file – Fred Haslam

I would do it in such way, that I would first create new repository for the project, filled with all artifacts needed to build it, and then I would write the script that would generate maven deploy command for each file inside, that not exists in Repository A.
