Hi,
to be able to unpack/unarchive Maven must know which Unarchiver should be
used for this type. 'aar' is not one of the few default supported types,
hence the exception.
The plugin responsible for packaging the aar-file should also have
configured how to unarchive the aar-file.
In case of dependency:unpack it is quite simple: I would expect that the
packaging plugin is configured in the pom.xml with a
<extension>true</extension>. This way Maven can find such information.
However, I can imagine that in case of unpack-dependencies the
aar-project.pom isn't used to detect the corresponding Unarchiver. Sounds
like an improvement to me.
thanks,
Robert
ps. this is also an interesting usecase for the consumer-pom or the
flatten-maven-plugin

I'm getting the following error trying to unpack some files from an aar.
Is this not supported? Is there any way to do this?
