Pablo La Greca commented on MNG-5567:
-------------------------------------
As I couldn't reopen MNG-2500 I created this new issue.
Why did you close it as won't fix?. It makes perfect sense to have a dependency
as zip and not as jar.
If you take a look at the classpath documentation here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html you
can see that .zip files are valid as part of the classpath and maven should
support that. I understand that adding support for that may cause side effects
with the current maven behavior but at least you should add a workaround to be
able to add the .zip dependency to the classpath and test classpath
> Zip files are not included in the test classpath
