I'm tightening up the compiler interfaces and have been thinking

List<File> getLinkedResources()

This
would allow the build to pull the resources from either a web server
or a
file system but it could break the build if any remote resources are
not
available. Thoughts?
In Maven we actually have a resources plugin and a remote resources
plugin for these different purposes. Deal with files where they are
files, URIs where they are remote resources. Not sure the abstraction
buys you much in practice.
