Hi Kristian,
> I know I have a couple of branches that at least convert all the
plexus-archiver zip stuff to use commons-compress, which is reasonably
simple to plug into plexus-archiver. I have been a bit reluctant to
push these changes since I've been mildly concerned about fallout. I
think it should be fairly simple to convert the remaining
plexus-archiver code to use commons-compress too, including the tar
stuff.
It would be great to get the commons compress part into...cause it's
better maintained etc.
Furthermore it would be a path to get rid of plexus-archiver at all...If
i understand you would change the plexus-archiver to use
commons-compress...so after that we could change the other plugins /
components to use commons-compress directly...
I am more concerned about the testing aspect of this change, it would
require extensive testing and probably some community effort. Is there
any interest in this ?
Yes it is....
Of course it needs testing but if we don't go that way we have to stuck
all the time plexus-archiver ....
Commons-compress is at least maintained; which is a Good Thing ;)
Thumb up...
Kind regards
Karl-Heinz Marbaise

Looks like it is worth a try to get maven-dependency-plugin having an
option to use native tar during unpack.
Thanks Jason

BTW,
I never have good luck with plexus-archiver, and always ended up to
implement my own 'unpack' using native tar to speed up the build and also
reserve the softlinks in the archive.
So am asking the user list to see if there any interests in this feature
to
give enough incentive to implement it
Thanks

Oh, I see, multiple options. Okay, then yes - maintenance nightmare. I
think we should not easily give up Java's idea of platform
independence and
Maven's whole point: creating standardised, repeatable builds.
If your idea is a reaction on your latest tar.gz problems, maybe we can
find another solution for it. You have not reacted on my offer to
inspect
your files and see if I have an idea how to fix that in Java. :-)

correct, I would expect user to install tar.exe or cygwin with tar
on
windows and activate the option. By default, it still uses
plexus-archiver
to unpack

Windows does not have tar by default. You need to install Git (incl.

installed at all or if so then in any predictable location or even
reachable via PATH.

I am think of enhancing maven-dependency-plugin by adding option to
unpack
'tar' like artifact using native tar since it is faster and reserve
soft
links (?)
Thoughts? would it be a maintaining night mare??
Thanks
