> Allow URLs to be used for installing a file
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MINSTALL-25
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINSTALL-25
> Project: Maven Install Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: install:install-file
> Reporter: Richard S. Hall
> Priority: Major
>
> Looking at the source code, it definitely does not appear possible to install
> a file from a URL using install:install-file.
> To me, this seems like it would be a useful feature and could be handled
> uniformly if file: URLs were supported.
> As it stands right now, if I want to install something into my local repo, I
> need to download it and save it somewhere on my computer, then I need to
> remember where I saved it and type that path into a maven command to make
> another copy in my local repository.
> It seems like it would be much more straightforward to just give the URL I
> want to be downloaded and installed.
