What is the purpose of TypeHandler in maven-dist-plugin ???

["Helck, Christopher" <ch...@ebs.com>]

I'm writing a plugin for InstallShield. I've used the dist plugin as a
starting point since it is similar to what I'm trying to do. I'm trying
to figure out the deploy goals. They look somethng like this:

<goal name="dist:deploy-bin" ....

  <artifact:deploy
     artifact="${maven.dist.dir}/${maven.final.name}.tar.gz"
     type="distribution-targz"
    project="${pom}"
    typeHandler="${distTypeHandler}"
/>

....


I took a look at the artifact plugin and didn't see anything about type
handlers. What is it for? What problem is it solving? 

Thanks,
C. Helck

it maps the "distribution-targz" type to the .tar.gz file extension
and distribution directory type.
