-------------------------------
Summary: Use a Custom Format for the Maven Assembly
Key: MASSEMBLY-895
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-895
Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: maven-archiver
Affects Versions: 3.1.0
Reporter: ocean
We would like to use the Maven Assembly plugin to generate a custom format.
The format is called 'xar' (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xar_(archiver)]
for more details).
We would like to additionally add the ability to cryptographically sign
generated Xar archives.
There's a library also called 'xar' that makes it easy to generate and
cryptographically sign Xar archives from Java. (see
[https://github.com/gino0631/xar).]
The challenge now is just figuring out how to wire this up into the assembly
plugin so that people can specify '<format>xar</format>' and also provide
signing keys and the assembly plugin will produce a single '.xar' file.
Can anybody point us in the right direction? Where might we find the code for
an existing format?
