+1. We do this a lot and fortunately we don't have a lot of cases where those zip files are actual dependencies. I believe there is already a jira filed for a "zip" packaging type.

The assembly plugin has proven to be very valuable, and used very often. Can we create a new <packaging> type for "assembly" that defaults a set of values, and even provides standard artifact resolution during the normal process. Motivation is to have artifacts that are bundled/attached/assembled during your build also be available to other modules in a standard maven way, not through plugin hacks to pull them in outside of the normal dependency resolution process. Course, how do we rectify the multiplicity of types (tar.gz/tar.bz2/zip)? I obviously haven't thought this through enough, but seeing as changes like this are only really appropriate to a big version change such as maven 2.1, it seemed like a good time to drop this idea on the rest of you for comment. - Joakim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
