Grzegorz Slowikowski commented on MNG-5567:
-------------------------------------------
As Joerg writes, zip files are often used for non-classpath resources. I'd like
to describe my case.
My Maven plugin for Play! Framework 1.x requires zip dependency in project (not
plugin) dependencies containing the resources which must be extracted and
accessed as *files* later during the build cycle. Check
'com.google.code.maven-play-plugin.org.playframework:play:1.4.3:framework:zip'
as an example. It has over 20MB and should not be present on the classpath.
Plugin finds dependency with 'framework' classifier and 'zip' extension,
extracts it, and doesn't expect it to be in the classpath.
Since zip files were newer added to classpath, so the scope of such dependency
wasn't important. If declared without a scope (using default 'compile' scope)
it will be available in runtime (for example, added to war files).
I cannot predict, how it will influence user projects using my plugin.
BTW
The original issue was about hsql zip-type dependency. There is no such
dependency, check http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/hsqldb/hsqldb/1.7.3.0/
> Zip files are not included in classpaths at all
