We have a maven project that results in a web archive. We want to ship a file (a .exe) within this for simple download by customers.
I've looked at the wagon plugin ( http://mojo.codehaus.org/wagon-maven-plugin/download-mojo.html) but this requires the target URL to be a directory from which a relative file is chosen. I'm downloading from a Nexus installation which provides a URL for a single file so isn't suitable. I've looked at the maven-download-plugin but while this works perfectly on our development Windows workstations, on our Linux Jenkins instance we end up with the final slash in the URL duplicated, resulting in entirely the wrong content downloaded. So I am left wondering how I can ask that a web archive can be built that ships with a file downloaded from our Nexus installation? This doesn't sound like it should be difficult but I'm still left frustrated. Any suggestions? I really don't want to take responsibility to manually constructing this thing, or have to manually commit to the project's SVN repo the .exe file to skip this dynamic process. Thanks, James
