------------------------------------------

Markus, please try to specify encoding for assembly plugin in the following way 
(also do not forget about "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"):
{code:xml}
<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>make-assembly</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>single</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <descriptors>
                    
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/package-sources.xml</descriptor>
                    <descriptor>src/main/assembly/package.xml</descriptor>
                </descriptors>
                <archiverConfig>
                    <encoding>CP866</encoding>
                </archiverConfig>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>

{code}
Let me explain why this is required. ZIP is old enought format and initialli it 
did not know anything about Unicode encodings. Later ZIP specification was 
extended and support for Unicode and LEF flag was added. The problem is that 
not all software understand LEF flag. I can surprise you Windows exlorer still 
do not understand LEF flag. As I know - there is no problems with LEF at linux 
and MacOS. Windows is still read ZIP assuming that it contain file names 
encoded with non-Unicode encoding, using MSDOS encoding corresponding to user 
locale. So if I want to be able to see cyrilyc file names in ZIP files at 
Windows I need to pack ZIP using 
[CP866|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_866] encoding. Not sure exactly, 
but I think you need to use [CP850|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850] 
encoding to be able to see file names with symbols from german abc.

In the case if you set only "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" flag without specifying 
encoding as in my example - you will be able to see "German umlauts" using 
archiver which understand LEF flag [7-Zip|http://7-zip.org/] is one of such 
archivers.

I think this will solve all your problems with encoding as it did for me.
