[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5567) Zip files are not included in classpaths at all

["Joerg Schaible (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5567?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15848143#comment-15848143 ] 

Joerg Schaible commented on MNG-5567:
-------------------------------------

Still I have major concerns to include this at all. Currently ZIPs are often used as attached artifacts to transport some additional resources. With this functionality these artifacts add suddenly all kind of unwanted transitive dependencies. If you look at Central for ZIP artifacts then you'll have trouble to find one that is usable as a JAR.
