Hi,

There is an issue in the Maven Assembly Plugin cause by a bug in the Plexus Archiver - https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-archiver/issues/53. To fix the issue I've created a patch for Apache Common Compress - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-375

My understanding is that in order to fix the issue three releases are required. First the Apache Common Compress should be released, then Plexus Archiver and finally the Maven Assembly plugin. I'm new to contributing to open source project in general so I'll be very grateful if somebody could tell me more about the procedure in such cases and how should I handle them. Excuse me if this question was asked already, but I didn't manage to find any information.

And maybe a bit off-topic. My proposed fix introduces a backward incompatible change in Plexus Archiver. You could take a look at the proposed changes here - https://github.com/plamentotev/plexus-archiver/commit/c493756f86acbe5d64084a875045f00e905c8136. What do you think? Tt needs a polish such as better javadocs for the ConcurrentJarCreator constructor and more test cases, but you could get an idea about the patch. Does this change require major version change in Plexus Archiver? Not quite sure if ConcurrentJarCreator is part of the public interface of the library.

Thanks,
Plamen Totev
