But there is nothing stopping people from adding custom packaging types, right? The real question is there enough demand to warrant folding it into Maven itself versus making the people that need it define it themselves. We have defined a number of custom packaging types for our own component archive formats and it is pretty straightforward...

Maven doesn't have support for "zip" packaging type projects, but MNG-1683 wants to introduce it. I am curious why this issue has been ignored. Is it just a lack of time or interest? Or is there a philosophical issue behind the delay? I can't see much difference between the zip lifecycle and jar lifecycle except there is no default "compile" or "test" bindings.
