[jira] Created: (MNG-2243) Creation of a maven-zip-plugin

Creation of a maven-zip-plugin
------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2243
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2243
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: New Feature

  Components: Plugin Requests  
 Environment: All
    Reporter: Christopher Marsh-Bourdon
    Priority: Minor


Before I plough head long into this, I'm not asking for someone else to develop a solution to this problem; I am more than happy to spend my time producing a solution.  I just wanted a feel as to what others think (maybe there is already a solution that I have missed).

Having read Olivier Lamy's issue (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1683), I have downloaded and used his submitted plugin.  It works great, but it does not achieve everything that I need to.  The additional functionality I need is the ability to include all the dependencies (jars etc) in the zip so that the package can act as a semi-automatic installation; unzip and with a single command start a JVM running.

Now the way I see things is that I could take the maven-war-plugin and amend it to perform the above.  So my questions are these:

- Is that an agreeable thing to the developers of the maven-war-plugin?
- Is it a bit of overkill?

All very newbie questions, but I thought it was best to ask them anyway.

Does anyone else have any interest in a plugin that can achieve the above, and is there any other requirements that you can think of?

A colleague kindly pointed out to me the assembly plugin, it caters for my requiremerts.

Apologies if any time was wasted,
