I have the problem of installing stuff in zip files (that is the tipical 
way of distributing java stuffs as JBoss, WSO2).
Which can be the preferred solution to make such an install:
- the only option I see is gettin the zip with curl or wget and than 
executing a unzip placing the stuff in the desired folder.

Doing this leaves behind the zip files somewhere and removing it causes 
puppet to download it again everytime.

It would be best to have a sort of provider dedicated to zip so that it can 
remove and can have all the knowledge of wheather the stuff is installed or 
not.

Logically I do not want the file in the server, but I need it to make 
puppet do the work: if I understand well the puppet philosophy this way of 
doing is a bit against it since I do not have to create a list of 
instructions to obtain a result, but I should just list a set of 
configutations (I need a file there because I need it)

Any hint on good practices.
Luca
