Andy DePue commented on MASSEMBLY-227:
--------------------------------------
I have a massive .jar file that is composed of many already compressed binary
files, and the assembly compression is slowing down the build process
considerably. Being able to turn compression off would shave about 5 minutes
from every build. Please, make this possible!
> Support 'store-only' (no-compression) jar files

> Key: MASSEMBLY-227
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-227
> Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Chris Beams
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.2
>
>
> the jar utility supports a -0 option that, when supplied, skips zip
> compression for the resulting jar file. This is desirable when creating jar
> dependencies that consist of large binary files - one wants access to the
> binaries to be as fast as possible at runtime with no decompression overhead.
> jdcasey tells me that there's an option on the underlying library to skip
> compression, but that it's not configurable on the assembly plugin itself.
> With that in mind, hopefully this is just a matter of exposing functionality
> rather than implementing it anew.
> Thanks,
