Extracting multiple files for the same archive causes multiple downloads #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Several artifactItems sharing the *same* downloadUrl (using different values 
for extractFile, of course) cause multiple downloads. This can be really 
annoying when extracting many small JARs from one very large archive. Thus, it 
would be nice if the maven-external-dependency-plugin could be smarter about 
this and hit each downloadUrl just once.

I agree with you and there is an open feature request for this (issue #1).  
Merging this issue into #1.  I had hoped to accomplish this feature by now, but 
just have not had the time to add it.  Anyone needing this feature now and is 
willing to add this logic to the project is welcome to become a developing 
contributor to the project.
