M2 project type for a standalone utility

[David Jackman]

I have a Java project that I want to build using Maven 2.  This
particular project doesn't really produce a jar as its main artifact,
but instead needs to produce a zip file containing all of the runtime
dependencies along with a batch file that users use to run the utility.
 
Before I try to create a new plugin that will build this kind of
project, I'm wondering if anyone out there has already built this kind
of thing and what you used to build it.
 
Thanks,
..David..
