ArtifactResult resolveArtifact(RepositorySystemSession session,
                             ArtifactRequest request)
                               throws ArtifactResolutionException
```
    Resolves the path for an artifact. The artifact will be downloaded to the local repository if necessary. An artifact that is already resolved will be skipped and is not re-resolved.

    Parameters:
    session - The repository session, must not be null.
    request - The resolution request, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    The resolution result, never null.
