document adding q2-314-demo-x86.exe as cached resource

[GoogleCodeExporter]

./install-resources part will try to download exe from a very slow ftp 
server and will never finish.
i waited >24 hours with no results but i've managed to download q2-314-demo-
x86.exe in <20 minutes with wget.

please document a way to tell ./install-resources where q2-314-demo-x86.exe 
is cached on local disk to avoid downloading.

Worked for me, try specifying a different mirror in the script?

BTW once it downloads and extracts the game data files from the EXE it won't do 
that 
step again; check the script and try to do those bits by hand, then run install-
resources for it to do further extraction from the PAK and conversion.

what script?
install-resources runs "java -jar 
maven-build/installer/target/gquake-installer-1.0-
SNAPSHOT.jar"

From src/jake2/tools/Downloader.java:

    static final String[] MIRRORS = {
        "ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/msdos/games/idgames/idstuff/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe",
        "ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/msdos/mirrors/ftp.idsoftware.com/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe",
        "ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/idsoftware/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe",
        "ftp://ftp.fragzone.se/pub/spel/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe",
        "ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe",
        "ftp://ftp.gamers.org/pub/games/idgames2/idstuff/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe"
    };

It attempts to find a mirror reasonably close to home, but not very carefully. 
If you want to add another ftp 
server, just change this list and re-run the maven scripts. If there are 
serious problems with any of those 
servers, feel free to ping this issue and we'll remove/change it.

Sometimes it doesn't even connect to any mirror.

I solved the problem manually downloading installer and changing source code 
like this 

Downloader.java:

+import java.io.FileInputStream;

at imports and

+File file = new File("%PATH_TO_FILE%\\q2-314-demo-x86.exe");
+InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);

instead of 

InputStream is = url.openStream();

and to the last user: i used 

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin>java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

i hope this helped someone
