Body:
<type> does more than just specyfing the artifact file extension.
It determines what kind of processing the artifact should recieve.
For example jar and ejb artifacts are added to the compilation classpath, and war and
ear artifacts are not.
Doing what you ask for would either require adding all artifacts to
the classpath (which does not make sense, generally), or adding zip
type artifacts to the classpath, which also does not make sense for
a range of zip files (source distributions, javadocs etc).
There's another approach to solving your problem besides renaming the
files. Use <type>jar</type> to request correct handling, but override
the name of the file maven is looking for. I believe that you can do
it using <jar>...</jar> element. The downside is that you need to give
a complete name including the version into <jar/>. I don't use this
feature, and I'm not sure of the details.
