I am using "mvn assembly:assembly deploy" command to upload my
distribution to the repository.
After that, to deploy it on the target machine, I use a simple Perl
script that downloads the assembly using http and then unpacks it.
Seems that this is pretty convenient thing, and my distributions are
under maven control, with names, versions, etc.

I had a discussion with my colleague, and he says that this usage of
Maven may be not appropriate, that Maven should be used for libraries
and not for executable packages.

I would like to hear what maven community thinks about this.

Another question: is there a way to download and unpack the assembly
using Maven? This would be more organized way for deployment.
