Greetings,
I am wondering if there is a standard solution to this problem anywhere.
I can't seem to find one, but I could have easily have overlooked it...
What we need to do is; download a file, put it in the local repo, and
also on the classpath.
To make this concrete, I'll explain our use-case. I would like to;
1) create a dependency on a RelaxNG schema (a RNC file) in the POM;
<dependency>
<type>rnc</type>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>foobar</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
2) hook up some plugin in the POM, telling it to recognize RNC types,
and to do its work during resource resolution phase
3) the plugin would
3.1) download the RNC to the local repo
3.2) copy it to target/classes, so that we can use it as
Classpath resource (to do RelaxNG validation)
This seems like it might be something people would commonly want to
accomplish. Not just for RNC files, but for any custom type.
We've hacked up a custom plugin to do this. But it doesn't seem like
we should have too ???
If we do have to create a custom plugin, could someone give a synopsis
of the best practice for accomplishing this??
I'd like to verify that we've done it the best way...
Thanks,
-- Chris
