------------------------------------
Is adding a "zip" packaging really going to be part of 3.x? Or 4.0?

> Hi,
> I don't know if the artifact type zip exists (I think not after few test).
> But I want to separate the html content and the webapp content (classes,
> configuration files and so on).
> The use case is to separate this different works (html designer and java
> developpement) and production installation (one is to an http server and the
> other is on an app server) in two artifacts with separate versionning.
> But the <packaging>zip</packaging> is not recognized.
> Then I would like to use it as an artifact with maven's features (snapshot,
> pom, version, goals : install, deploy release and all others).
> Add it to the webapp dependencies (needed only for developpment or unit
> tests).
> With this type of dependency the zip content could be unpacked to a directory
> in the exploded webapp. (certainly need hack on the maven-war-plugin).
> I have certainly the workaround to declare this as jar and using the assembly
> plugin to generate a zip.
> But I can't use install release deploy or something else to manage the
> generated zip which is not an artifact.
> Thanks for help or workaround.
