Question

I am using maven-assembly-plugin to construct an assembly.

I want to include in the assembly a file from another Subversion repository.

How? Is there another plugin that will do a subversion export?

      <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.2</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>get-assembly-files</id>
                    <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>export</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <connectionUrl>scm:svn:http://foo/bar/baz.txt</connectionUrl>
                        <exportDirectory>${project.build.directory}</exportDirectory>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
