[jira] Created: (MASSEMBLY-589) Support for URL in descriptor

Support for URL in descriptor
-----------------------------

                 Key: MASSEMBLY-589
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-589
             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 2.2.2
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Croesus


Being able to add a URL as a descriptor would add considerable to the flexibility of the plugin.
So in the configuration element the following would work:
{code:xml}
...
  <configuration>
    <descriptors>
      <descriptor>http://my.website/assembly.xml</descriptor>
    </descriptors>
  </configuration>
{code}

The implementation could be similar to how it is done in the maven-checkstyle-plugin, i.e. the <configLocation /> field which supports files or URLs
