I am trying to build a pom in its own project that will assemble a tar

build that need to go into the tomcat/lib directory.
I am missing 2 things.
1) What do I say to tell the maven-assembly-plugin that I want a tar
and a zip built?
There are two ways to configure the assembly plugin - one uses
"predefined" descriptors, the other lets you specify specific
instructions in a descriptor of your own that you point to - use the
parameter<descriptors> instead of<descriptorRefs>.
Where are the "predefined descriptors" documented?
Then write your own assembly descriptor.
Do I need to write my own?
See
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html for
instructions on how to do this. You'll see an element<formats> where
you can specify the tar and zip formats.
2) How to I tell the maven-assembly-plugin that I want the jar files
zipped up without the contents being extracted and zipped as
individual classes?
In the custom assembly descriptor you make, you can control this using
the<unpack> option, see the details in the above documentation.
For a book chapter on how to do all kinds of things with assemblies, see:
http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/assemblies.html
Unpack seems to be too late. Once you merge the jars, I don't see how
you can reconstruct the jars during the unpack.

I have built a test pom shown below.
Since it has
<descriptorRef>
jar-with-dependencies
</descriptorRef>
it restructures the internal jar contents rather than creating a tar
of jar files.
I did find a nice article from Sonatype but these questions remain.
