download not-jars from maven or other repositories

[mkoohafkan]

I'm trying to download a dependency for some java classes that is actually a shared object in a zip file. It has all the info etc. but jar-download-action can't retrieve it, I think because the extension is not .jar .

Any chance we could add an "extension" or "packaging" property to the action that defaults to jar but could support other extensions like zip?

For reference, the dependency is question lives here:

https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/nexus/#browse/browse:maven-public:mil%2Farmy%2Fusace%2Fhec%2FjavaHeclib%2F7-IS-linux-x86_64

<dependency>
  <groupId>mil.army.usace.hec</groupId>
  <artifactId>javaHeclib</artifactId>
  <version>7-IS-linux-x86_64</version>
</dependency>
