You can use the dependency plugin to unpack your zip. It's not clear though if you are trying to include the .so's into the NAR or something else. If it's something else, you can use the assembly plugin to pick up what you need. If it's the nar, then you'll have to experiment with where to unpack the files so they get included.

I need some help with this task: We have a project which consists of several modules, and now we need to add the new one - but this module has a binding to JNI, which requires to compile and link native code. After the research I've found there is a plugin at FreeHEP (freehep-nar-plugin) which seems to perform such kind of task and is able to compile and link native sources within Maven. This works fine until we tried to assemble the application in single ZIP archive - we need to include the *.so files in this archive, however the nar plugin does create a some archive (*.nar) which includes these SO files, and the question now - how is it possible to unpack this archive (looks like it is a regular ZIP file?) BEFORE assembling and then include the *.so files into resulting archive.
