Assembly plugin
I have a need to catch each file as it is written to the archive, inspect
it's properties, and report on them. I could do this as post assembly step,
by opening the archive and reading it, but would prefer to do it when the
assembly occurs.

Thanks. I suspect you are right, but I will start by looking at the five
classes in org.apache.maven.plugin.assembly.filter that already implement
it before asking for additional help.

You may be looking for a ContainerDescriptorHandler...if you implement
that interface, wrap it up in a jar, include that jar as a plugin-level
dependency of the assembly plugin in your project, then reference that
in your assembly's containerDescriptorHandlers section, you should be
able to observe just about anything you want.
Let me know if you decide to jump into it, I can probably supply examples.
