Smarter heuristic to pick checksum algorithm #17

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Currently, the maven-external-dependency-plugin is not overly smart about 
picking the right checksum algorithm straight-away; it always tries MD5 first 
and only if that fails does it try SHA1. Depending on the size of the external 
dependency, computing the ckecksum may take a few seconds, which could be saved 
if the plugin would apply the following heuristic:

  40 hex digits => 160 bit SHA-1 checksum
  otherwise => 128 bit MD5 checksum first, then 160 bit SHA-1 checksum

Alternatively, the plugin's goal would use two distinct parameters: md5checksum 
and sha1checksum, probably with checksum retained for compatibility.
