[jira] Commented: (MNG-2248) Maven should get the source and javadoc jars from a repository if they are available

["Paul Gier (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2248?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=153471#action_153471 ] 

Paul Gier commented on MNG-2248:
--------------------------------

The [dependency plugin|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/] can be used to download sources.  And I think you could use the same "sources" goal with a configured classifier to download javadocs.  You can't put it into the settings.xml, but you could configure your pom to download sources for each build.

Does this resolve your issue?

> It would be nice if the component that downloads a binary jar file from a repositroy would also download any available source or javadoc jars. Currently the only way to do this is by using the eclipse plugin.
