> AbstractRepository.copyToRepository bases the decision on whether to unpack or copy an artifact on the type.  Since all it gets is a stream and artifact, I don't see any obvious ways to change this behavior: to actually detect if something is a plugin you'd have to look at the content, which isn't available when the decision is made.
> I can see several ways out:
> 1. make all plugins be of type car
> 2. make packed plugins work (would require a new classloader and might cause difficulties with tomcat and openejb integration)
> 3. copy the file packed, peek inside, and unpack if necessary.
> Unless there's strong opposition I'm going to try to implement (1).
