Hello, I am having this issue related to a third-party dependency. It's about Saxon and some license issues that are not clarified yet. I have a Maven plugin that is using the Saxon transformer. However, I would like to know if Maven provides a solution to use a dependency when it's not in a Maven repository. This means that I would like to be able to download a zip from http://somehost.com/somepath/something.zip, unpack it and copy some jar from there in the local Maven repository. I would like to be able to run this before the plugin goal is runing. I know I could do this from Java code with some tricks, but I would like to know if there is a "standard" approach for this using Maven.
Thanks in advance -- Cosmin Marginean
