Heads up: Maven javadoc binaries

[Antonio <an...@vieiro.net>]

Hi all,

The libs.jaxb module installs the JAXB javadoc zip [1].

Maven does not hold any file called "jaxb-api-doc.zip", so it's not 
possible to download it from maven central.

Maven does hold javax.xxml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.5 [2], though, which I 
think is equivalent. The file is now named jaxb-impl-2.2.5-javadoc.jar.

Question: should I rename the jaxb-api-doc.zip to 
jaxb-impl-2.2.5-javadoc.jar in both "binaries_list" and [1]?

Or should I open an issue to handle these scenarios centrally? (so, for 
example, maybe we want to download the jar file from maven and then 
rename it to 'zip').

Thanks,
Antonio

have a look here:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.2.5/

There is:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.2.5/jaxb-api-2.2.5-javadoc.jar

This poses the problem, that the current pattern in DownloadBinaries
does not cover:

- differing classifiers
- differing file extensions

This should be doable - I'll look into adding support for this.
