here is the assembly.xml I have, in my project.

<formats>
                <format>tar.gz</format>
</formats>
        
        <fileSets>
                <fileSet>
                        <directory>${project.basedir}/resources</directory>
                        <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
                </fileSet>

                <fileSet>
                        <directory>${project.basedir}/../</directory>
                        <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
                        <includes>
                            
                                <include>**/e-*.jar</include>
                                
                                <include>**/target/e-*.war</include>
                                <include>**/target/*.war</include>
                        </includes>
                        <excludes>
                            
                                <exclude>**/WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</exclude>
                                <exclude>**/e-*-tests.jar</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                </fileSet>
        </fileSets>
</assembly>

It does create tar.gz. But when I try to extract, it complains about the
format.

[6 jnk]$ tar xvfz
e-distro-1.0-SNAPSHOT-r296-b323-d2012-06-22_11-49-43-distro.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

[6 jnk]$ tar --gunzip -xvf
e-distro-1.0-SNAPSHOT-r296-b323-d2012-06-22_11-49-43-distro.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[6 jnk]$ tar --ungzip -xvf
e-distro-1.0-SNAPSHOT-r296-b323-d2012-06-22_11-49-43-distro.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

when I changed the format to tar and try to extract, it complains as follows
-
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

is there a difference between tar created by maven and tar created on unix.
? if so, how to overcome it ? appreciate any suggestions. also, does the
assembly.xml need more dependencies defined ? thanks
