Please ask on the users or dev mailing list.
> Use a Custom 'xar' 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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?
