We need at least a specific goal for that, as your 'zipfied jar' has some META-INF garbage (like MANIFEST.MF) which is probably not necessary.
Now that you mentioned your problem, I will take advantage to ask a RTFM question: is there a goal that merge two or more jars? For instance, let's say I have a project that is divided in many source directories. The way maven works, I should create one project for each dir and use multiproject to generate all JARs. The problem is, I'd like to distribute the final product in just one JAR. So, do we have a goal for that? If not, maybe we could add it to the maven-jar-plugin

I still think it makes more sense to have a separated plugin, as its behaviour and goals (like zip:install, zip:zip, zip:deploy, zip:deploy-snapshot, etc...) would be analogous to existing archiving plugins, like jar, war, rar, etc... (in fact, such a plugin would be part of the plexus-archiver, when it's ready...).
