Retrieving and unpacking assemblies

[Matthew Tordoff <ma...@markit.com>]

Hi all,

I recently created a POM module which as part of it contains a ZIP file
created via the assembly plugin (since the current released version of
Maven does not allow packaging of type ZIP). I have another project
which needs to make use of this ZIP file, so I need that module to
import the original zip file and unpack it. To achieve this I have tried
to use the maven-dependency-plugin, however, I have only been successful
in being able to retrieve the POM file and not the ZIP file.

Does anyone have a proven method for importing and unpacking assemblies
attached to modules?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Matt

P.S. I have no problems retrieving modules and unpacking them, only
assemblies created as a result of the modules packaging phase.

Hi all,

I found the answer to this here...

You can refer to the assembly using the id of the assembly as the
dependency classifier.
