GitHub Release Asset Downloader

Maven plugin to download assets from GitHub releases.

Usage

In your pom.xml the following plugin configuration will download the asset Dist.zip from the latest release (in time of plugin execution) of the repository lukashornych/evitalab and saves it and extracts it to the directory src/main/resources/META-INF/lab/gui

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>one.edee.oss</groupId>
            <artifactId>github-release-asset-downloader-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <owner>lukashornych</owner>
                <repo>evitalab</repo>
                <assetName>Dist.zip</assetName>
                <targetDir>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/META-INF/lab/gui</targetDir>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

then you can manually run it using:
