Let me start over... The problem seems to be that there's no "good" way of installing or deploying multiple 3rd party jars using a pom and, at least in the current release of M2, the install:install-file goal doesn't work properly within a pom.
I was perfectly content with using a shell script to do the deploy, but that didn't seem to work for Dave Syer (he does a better job than I of explaining his problem with this solution). As I said below, it did get me thinking if there wasn't a need for a new packaging type. Even when the install plugin is released with the fix to make install:install-file usable within a pom, deploying multiple 3rd party jars using a pom will still be extremely verbose. Unless I'm missing something, it requires a new <execution> block for each jar. Twice in fact if you want to use install as well as deploy. As far as I know, this isn't something you can use assembly:unpack to do.
