Re: Change extension of output from assembly plugin

[Niranjan Rao <nh...@gmail.com>]

Don't know about maven plugin that will do this, but one way to do this 
something like follows which builds firefox xpi file which is basically 
gzip. Please make sure you adjust the phase according to your need.



<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<zip destfile="target/fiportscripter.xpi" basedir="target/classes" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
