maven_install packaging type zip

[tomml]

Hi,

I am not really into maven and apoligize for any strange assumption or question.

Currently I try to access a local maven repository in our company, there a zip file and a pom file is located. The zip file shall get unpacked and is consumed later in our bazel build process. To figure out how to access the repo and download the zip I started using the mvn cli tooling with dependency:get plugin. That worked for me. Accessing the repository with http basic auth and downloading the zip file I am interessted in was successful.

We thought to make our lives easier and directly utilize an appropriate bazel rule for that and I stumbled upon this repository. After investingating how to do the same as I did before with the mvn cli tooling I am now confused if this use case is really covered by "maven_install" rule. Could you give me some feedback on my plan?

Can you provide more information on what is not working for you?
