Don't we already have this?? I have dependencies defined for my plugin
and they are all there when I call my Ant tasks (using an extended
version of AbstractAntMojo). I have verified this.

Unfortunately, this doesn't really work in my case. Say I have an Ant
build file named "axis.xml" and I bundle this into my Plugin JAR. I
cannot access this as a File. Yes, it has a path in the URL sense (i.e
jar:/...) But Ant wants a regular old file that I can get an absolute
path to. (BTW: Ant is just an example. The same could hold true for
many other situations)
Is there any way to bundle files (such as axis.xml) into the
repository -- such that I could access it directly as,say,
${localRepository}/blah/plugins/axis-plugin/1.0-SNAPSHOT/axis.xml
Of course, I could unjar the Plugin into /target -- but that seems
like a hack...
Thanks for all your help & insight,
Cheers,
