[M2] Unzip dependencies

[Christian Clauss]

Hi everybody,

 

I have a project dependency (a zipped library-file) in my local repository.
I want to unzip this file before starting compiling. I tried it with the
maven-dependency-plugin but it didn't work. Any ideas why? Or what I could
do? No error message, it says expanding <file> into <dir> but there is
nothing. Thanks for your help.
