Hi, from my point of view, I would rather use the Maven assembly plugin since: * the documentation if far more complete * it may meet additional future requirements * it seems more active
Its usage is all explained on their website: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/usage.html You could probably go with the build-in descriptor reference 'bin' but it produces two additional artifacts (tar.gz and tar.bz2).
If you feel lost with the usage of plugins, I can only advice you to read the Maven user documentation: * http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html, and more specifically * http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html#How_do_I_use_plug-ins

Hi, I know this post has been quite dated to date, however, i believe it continues to be relevant to many out there trying to create a zip package. I have found a maven zip plugin at http://people.apache.org/~olamy/snapshots/maven-zip-plugin/index.html http://people.apache.org/~olamy/snapshots/maven-zip-plugin/index.html . However, I do not know how I could download this to include in my project. Please pardon me as I'm a complete noob to Maven, and have no experience in build scripts either. Would appreciate your patience.
