In my project I use a third party library that I would like to put into a remote maven repository. The lib is distributed as a zip file. To use the lib outside of maven you unzip the archive to a directory, set your classpath to various locations in that directory, and set an environment variable pointing to the directory itself. The library is proprietary and there are various licensing issues but these would be handled outside of maven.

What I'd like to be able to do is place a dependency on the third party lib in my project and have maven do as much of the above as possible. I'm looking at the assembly plugin and the dependency plugin but basically I'm a maven newbie and I'm horribly confused.

Thanks, John
