I see that zip files will be added to the classpath with Maven 3.4: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5567
I am sure there is a way to exclude them from the classpath, too, right? What is the means to do that? Not every "zip" is a jar. In fact, Java has 2 NIO file system providers -- one for zip and one for jar. With regards to project management, while it's safe to assume a dependent "jar" should be on the classpath, it is not safe to assume the same for a dependent "zip". Cheers, Paul
