Comprehensive list of packaging types?

Is there a complete list of packaging types?  I see a short list on 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html, but I imagine that there are 
other plugins that provide other kinds of packaging.

Is there a simple way to grep through the plugins in a repository to see 
what packaging they provide?

I ask partly out of curiosity, and partly because I have an ant-based 
"project" that generates a set of documents .  If I were to mavenize 
this, I imagine that the bundle of documents would be installed/deployed 
so that it would be available to other projects (which may create 
assemblies containing the documents along with bits and pieces of other 
projects/modules).  So what would I set the packaging to for this 
document project?

Thanks, Steven.  None of the options on that list sound right for my 
needs (a non-Java project generating a bundle of documentation).  I'm 
not going to need to write my own plugin for something so simple, am I?

There's a bigger list (though perhaps a bit dated) here:

Without seeing it, my suggestion is to use pom packaging, and use the
assembly plugin to create a zip file of the docs.

Here's the Struts 1.x assembly module, which builds the release
distributions including source and docs:
