John Casey commented on MASSEMBLY-186:
--------------------------------------

If you want to develop a patch to enable this sort of behavior, that would be okay with me...otherwise, it's a backburner issue... :-)

>             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Marcel Schoen
>            Priority: Minor

> It would be nice if the assembly plugin could also gather files to be packed from external sources over HTTP or FTP. The configuration could look like this:
> 	    <urlSet>
> 			<url>http://files.acme.com/data</url>
> 			<excludes>
> 				<exclude>**/*.jar</exclude>
> 			</excludes>
> 			<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
> 	    </urlSet>
> 	    <urlSet>
> 			<url>ftp://files.acme.com/data</url>
> 			<excludes>
> 				<exclude>**/*.jar</exclude>
> 			</excludes>
> 			<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
> 	    </urlSet>
> It could support basically every available URL protocoll suitable for file retrieval, like "scp:", "smb:" etc.
