Subject: How does a plugin unpack a needed resoure

I'm new to maven plugin development.  I have not been able to get an
answer to this so is I missed something please point me to 
it. I have  server that needs to be unpacked to the disk to run (it is
not tomcat or any app server).  I have a plugin that 
holds the server executables and config.  I would like the user of this
plugin to be able to call a goal in this plugin and have 
the server get unpacked to disk and executed.

Please point me to examples of this kind of plugin.

Since I'm new to Maven please feel free to make suggestions on how to do
this (even if they are you are going about this 
completely wrong)

Thanks in advance for your help!
