I have eliminated the second JAR from newer versions of Plexus, it was a complete disaster separating the two and caused so many problems.

For your case below can you not used the older version of plexus that was a single JAR? The newer versions of plexus are again a single JAR, but some plexus-utils coupling might block you.

Or (gasp), just write the 30 lines of code to JAR up what you need and toss the whole maven-archive/plexus-archiver chain. I just found chain to be a mess as plexus-archiver is just way too complicated and incredibly slow.

Hi

I'm going through the dependencies for shared/maven-archiver. Is a
shared component in danger of dragging in a wrong version of
plexus-container-default or plexus-components-api?

The MavenArchiver class is not a plexus component itself, it doesn't use
plexus directly - only through its dependencies.

Here's the current output of 'mvn dependency:tree':

As you can see we have these two chains of transitive dependencies:
1. plexus-archiver -> plexus-io -> plexus-component-api:1.0-alpha-15
2. plexus-archiver -> plexus-io -> plexus-container-default:1.0- alpha-8

Should I exclude plexus-component-api and plexus-container-default in
the plexus-archiver dependency element in the pom of maven-archiver [1]?

If the answer is yes, should I then add a dependency on the version that
we want: plexus-container-default:1.0-alpha-9 ?
