Did you try to declare the dependency as type zip?

Okay, I can now deploy the zip artifact to my repo - but how to I explode that 
into another maven project using the dependecy unpack plugin - this seems to 
expect a jar.

That can be fixed by using the maven-buildhelper-plugin, which can attach any file to maven's list-of-deployable-files.

Ah, this does not work, since the zip will not deploy to
the m2 repo in the deploy phase.

Specifying pom packaging seems like an abuse, but if it
works, then
great!

Thanks,
John

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
