Anders Hammar commented on MJAVADOC-410:
----------------------------------------
Having a dependency to something outside of your build (e.g. a stylesheet
through and external URL) is not very good. If the external source changes, or
is removed, your build will change and/or fail.
> Get the stylesheet file from an URL

> Key: MJAVADOC-410
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-410
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.10
> Reporter: Vincent Zurczak
> Priority: Minor
>
> Hi,
> When we generate Javadoc with the maven-javadoc-plugin, we can use the
> *stylesheetfile* parameter to specify a custom CSS file for the generated
> HTML pages.
> This file can be a local file, as well as a resource located in Maven
> dependencies. However, it does not work if the parameter value is set to a
> public URL (a static resource on a web server). This would be a nice
> enhancement. Initially, I had created a Maven module that would contain such
> resources, but it resulted in adding a lot of complexity to my release
> process. Having some static resources on a web server is much more simple.
> I wanted to submit a patch myself for this feature.
> But I was wondering how I could do that. This
> [page|http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2-development.html#Creating_and_submitting_a_patch]
> indicates we should attach a patch file to this issue. I was wondering if
> proposing pull requests on the GitHub mirror was also working.
