Could you tell some details about it?
or how do you want to use with the plugin to download?
or any scenarios?

Hi @KinoLien and thanks for the replay
In my java project (see : swing-effects), am using maven to manage the project's build process.
Maven is - at its heart - a plugin execution framework; all the work is done by plugins.
So, in this project, the wagon-maven-plugin is used to download source files from the remote Github repository during the build prcess.
To ensure that the source are the latest, am always using the master branch (~/archive/master.zip)
But the remote repository contains also other files/directories wich we dont need them !
The question is : is it possible to use gitzip in conjenction with wagon-maven-plugin to download only the content of a sub-directory (../src).

Thanks again.

Thank you for the reply.

Frankly, I don't know how to response the question, cause i'm not a java developer and not skilled for maven framework.

So i was thinking, if you can get github source through shell script during build process, maybe SVN is the solution. (refer this)
