You can use the build helper plugin[1] to attach arbitrary artifacts. So you can use any means to produce the artifact you want to attach, say the assembly plugin, and then use the attach-artifact goal[2] of the build helper plugin to have it be installed in your local repository and deployed to the remote repository. Alternatively you can roll your own solution, something like this[3]. The full example is here[4].
