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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
