> Brian Fox suggested opening this jira after an irc discussion.
> I'm trying to manipulate a zip (or tgz) distribution for my own evil purposes.
> I installed it in my local maven repo using the command maven suggested:
>   mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.roller -DartifactId=roller    -Dversion=3.1-rc6 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=roller-war/apache-roller-3.1-rc6.zip 
> it ended up:
> $ ls ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/roller/roller/3.1-rc6/roller-3.1-rc6.zip 
> /Users/david/.m2/repository/org/apache/roller/roller/3.1-rc6/roller-3.1-rc6.zip
> I'm trying to unpack it with the dependency plugin:
>         <plugins>
>             <plugin>
>                 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

> and maven complains it can't find it:
> [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
>  
> GroupId: org.apache.roller
> ArtifactId: roller
> Version: 3.1-rc6
>  
> Reason: System is offline.
>  
> Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
>  
> Then, install it using the command: 
>     mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.roller -DartifactId=roller \
>         -Dversion=3.1-rc6 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=/path/to/file
>  
>  
>   org.apache.roller:roller:zip:3.1-rc6
>  
>  
> It turns out that if I remove the <classifier>bin</classifier> line from the dependency plugin config then maven can find the file.
