creating zip distribution

[Amnon Khen <am...@cash-u.com>]

Hello Maven-folk,
 
The deliverable artifact in my project is a zip archive that contains  a
jar, configuration files, scripts and much more. I would like to use Maven
to create it, but I haven't found any plugin that does what I want.
Before I delve into writing one myself, I would like to make sure I haven't
missed anything.
Suppose my project contains only a collectionfiles, which should be packed
and deployed to the repository (no java source files to compile). If I use
the Distribution plugin, it does a lot of things I don't need, like creating
a jar, generating documentation, creating a zip, tar etc. Is there any way
to customize it's behavior? Is there any other plugin I can use?
I went through the code of the Disribution plugin and didn;t find any.
Has anyone encountered such problem before? If so how was it solved?
 
Thanks for your time,
    Amnon
