Here's a rough example,

package(:tgz, :id=>"#{name}-all").tap do |distro|
  distro.include ["RELEASE_NOTES", "README"]

  # third party licenses
  Dir[_("license/*LICENSE")].each { |l| distro.include(l, :path=>"lib") }

  # examples
  distro.path("examples").include _("src/examples"), :as=>"."

  # libraries
  distro.path("lib").include artifacts(COMMONS.logging, LOG4J, ...,
compile.dependencies)

  # plugins
  distro.path("plugins").include project("plugins") # gets all packages from
plugins project
end

Hope this helps,
