                 Key: MASSEMBLY-186
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-186
             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Marcel Schoen
            Priority: Minor


It would be nice if the assembly plugin could also gather files to be packed 
from external sources over HTTP or FTP. The configuration could look like this:

            <urlSet>
                        <url>http://files.acme.com/data</url>
                        <excludes>
                                <exclude>**/*.jar</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                        <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
            </urlSet>

            <urlSet>
                        <url>ftp://files.acme.com/data</url>
                        <excludes>
                                <exclude>**/*.jar</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                        <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
            </urlSet>

It could support basically every available URL protocoll suitable for file 
retrieval, like "scp:", "smb:" etc.
