The support for arbitrary dependencies is limited but will support your
use case:
<dependency>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar.zip</artifactId>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
That will pull the dependency from your remote repo from
<root>
|
+-- foo
|
+-- zips
|
+-- bar.zip
And put it in your local repo with the same path.
But there is no support for getting the path of the zip file. You'll
have to do that manually right now.
Once Michal's patches for the artifact factory stuff is in this will be
easier, or just plain easy.
