I'm finding some problems with apps packaged as plugins, see

Here's the text...
AbstractRepository.copyToRepository bases the decision on whether to
unpack or copy an artifact on the type. Since all it gets is a
stream and artifact, I don't see any obvious ways to change this
behavior: to actually detect if something is a plugin you'd have to
look at the content, which isn't available when the decision is made.
I can see several ways out:
1. make all plugins be of type car
2. make packed plugins work (would require a new classloader and
might cause difficulties with tomcat and openejb integration)
3. copy the file packed, peek inside, and unpack if necessary.
Unless there's strong opposition I'm going to try to implement (1).
Comments?
