I have looked over Google, and I have not seen a satisfactory answer to this extremely simple requirement.
I am trying to produce an XPI file for a firefox extension. An XPI file is simply a zip file with a different extension. I have looked at the maven-jar-plugin and the maven-assembly-plugin and both are too restrictive to be able to use correctly it seems. If I use a jar project, I have the following problems: 1) it insists on adding the ".jar" extension to the file 2) there seems to be no way to stop the manifest from being added I have looked at the maven-assembly-plugin. I have the following problems: 1) It doesn't seem to easily include the <resources> section of the pom for a pom type project 2) it insists on adding the ".zip" extension to the file All I want is what a jar project does but I want my own extension (xpi, not jar) and I do not want the META-INF directory to be created. I would create my own plug-in, but there doesn't seem to be a way to create a mojo file in the same project (I don't want to have to build a re-usable plugin, import its references into the project, deploy it, etc. just for this one project). Is this the only option? And if so, is there a way to make the plugin so that it only is used by this one project and is never deployed to a repository (sub-directory for example)? Also, the XPI plug-in on source-force is no use to me as it is for the legacy XPI layout.
