(1) "Normal users" (non-comitters) do not have permission to reopen issues so I really beg for your kind help to reopen this issue for me! :-)
(2) Despite all the quirks of Windows, the ZIP specification does not say a word about encoding, so it is pretty correct to use any decoding in ZIPs. As a consequence, maven-dependency-plugin MUST either be able to detect the encoding OR MUST have configurable encoding (plexus unarchiver already provides setEncoding BTW). I actually do not understand the discussion about this. I have such ZIPs, these are compliant with the ZIP specification, and maven-dependency-plugin cannot handle it. So instead of complaining about Windows being quirky wouldn't it make more sense to simply provide maven-dependency-plugin the same <encoding> option that maven-assembly-plugin already has? I mean, that would be straightforward, simple to implement, pragmatic and would actually help us (we are stuck with this!) while discussions about Windows do not. ;-) Maybe there is a trick so one can configure plexus unarchiver's setEncoding via the POM, but we simply don't know how to do that. So if you know that trick, then please share your knowledge with us. We do not insist on a fix for the plugin, but we really need a solution ASAP! :-) Thanks a lot! -Markus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: kristian.rosenv...@zenior.no [mailto:kristian.rosenv...@zenior.no] Im Auftrag von Kristian Rosenvold Gesendet: Dienstag, 17.

This is really only a question about the borked "zip file" explorer that is default in windows. Quality zip clients always works fine on Windows. The miserable story is documented entirely at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/zip.html#Encoding and is an enjoyable read for anyone who wants the full story :) For the assembly plugin I have scheduled http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-748 for the next release, which should be soonish. For the dependency plugin I am still not convinced that this should be supported. Unlike the ZIP specification, the Jar specification is crystal clear on "UTF-8" only, which means we'd be breaking something that is not broken.
