Allow URLs to be used for installing a file
-------------------------------------------
Key: MINSTALL-25
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINSTALL-25
Project: Maven 2.x Install Plugin
Type: New Feature
Reporter: Richard S. Hall
Looking at the source code, it definitely does not appear possible to install a
file from a URL using install:install-file.
To me, this seems like it would be a useful feature and could be handled
uniformly if file: URLs were supported.
As it stands right now, if I want to install something into my local repo, I
need to download it and save it somewhere on my computer, then I need to
remember where I saved it and type that path into a maven command to make
another copy in my local repository.
It seems like it would be much more straightforward to just give the URL I want
to be downloaded and installed.
