The assembly mechanism has a small problem: It can not be used to just copy plain files plus dependencies into some target directory structure (without compressing/zipping/packing or changing the copied files in any way). In my case, I need this because I am using an unsupported packaging mechanism (I am generating an installation executable using a command line install file generator). But there are probably many other cases where this would be useful. There is at least one other user who has created his own plugin to get around some of these problems but I believe the best approach would be to just add another non-packaging archiver.

I have looked into the codehaus archiver classes. It would be easy to add my own AbstractArchiver descendant but it would have to be registered by the ArchiverManager. How can that be done?

Thanks for your help.
