Hi John,

no, the assembly plugin can also generate just one single zip file.
I use packaging _pom_ and this plugin def:
      <plugin>
       <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
       <executions>
         <execution>
           <phase>package</phase>
           <goals>
             <goal>single</goal>
           </goals>
         </execution>
       </executions>
       <configuration>
         <descriptors>
           <descriptor>src/main/assembly/upload.xml</descriptor>
         </descriptors>
       </configuration>
     </plugin>

On the other hand, there is an older maven zip plugin.

Thanks, I was hoping to avoid assembly plugin because it seems to be added to a 
jar project. A direct zip plugin would make more sense, but that's not a maven 
standard.

Would it help to create a ZIP file with the maven assembly plugin[1]?

regards,

Stefan
P.S.: I just saw, the assembly plugin can also create JARs - so it's probably just what you need.

Hi,

Is it possible to make a jar with no META-INF entry - I
just want to
create a jar to unpack with some files I need.

TIA,
John
