Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-6259:
--------------------------------------

bq. If it was complicated, it probably wouldn't be worth maintaining, but seems 
pretty simple.

Actually I was thinking it might not be simple. For instance where should it 
put the files, what should it do if the file already exists, if the download 
fails in the middle, if the sha1 does not match, how it should report progress 
so that users understand what is happening if it gets stuck, etc.

> In LUCENE-6247, one idea discussed to decrease the size of release artifacts 
> was to remove the inclusion of dependencies from binary releases.  These jar 
> files increase the size of the binary releases a lot, and the size is mostly 
> in a couple modules (eg benchmark and spatial).
> I think most people consume lucene through maven. For those that do use the 
> binary release, we can still make pulling the dependencies for these modules 
> easy. We can add a generated README file in each module that has 
> dependencies, with instructions indicating they need to download the 
> dependencies, and then give the list of jar files they need to download, with 
> exact links to maven (which we can extract from ivy?).
