> Reporter: Markus KARG

> There is a widespread need to build ZIP archives as main artefacts. This can
> be done in several ways (like <packaging>zip</packaging> and providing an
> explicit artifact name ending on ".zip"), but while it a JAR can be built
> using a five-lines-POM, building a ZIP becomes a rather complex task in
> comparison and needs rather lengthy research in the manuals... :-(
> So I want to propose to allow follow the most intuitive way in future maven
> releases: <packaging>zip</packaging>
> + This is the most intuitive way, particulary for new users. Virtually
> everybody would try this if he wants to get a ZIP. No need for any user
> documentation to use it.
> + This is the most simple way and concise way to write what one wants to get.
> + This should be most simple to code and test as it is the base code of
> <packaging>jar</packaging>.
> + It allows people to declare ZIP-PACKAGED instead of ZIP-NAMED artefacts,
> what is a semantic difference: A ZIP typically has no MANIFEST.MF file.
