downloading resources

[Adam Crain <ac...@greenenergycorp.com>]

Hi,

There are several external shared libraries available via http in tar.gz
files that I want to include in a jar.

I do not want to check these files into my scm.

How do I get maven to

1) Check if they are already present, and if not
2) Download the tarball
3) Uncompress it to my projects src/main/resources folder

(I'm distributing shared libraries this way because it's an OSGi bundle that
uses JNI libraries)

Any advice on combinations of plugins to use?

any phase before the phase in which you create the bundle...

probably generate-resources

What phase should I be doing this in to insure that they make it into the
bundle?

Oh and btw you should probably not be uncompressing to
src/main/resources but rather to /target.

Some plugins you should take a look at:
m-dependency-p (probably can do it all)
m-assembly-p
m-remote-resources-p (probably not an option)
m-antrun-p (if you really can't find a good way to do this any other way)
make-maven-plugin (part of the codehaus cbuild plugin) [1]
