Thank you for your reply. I have tried to get your solution working, but I have not quite succeeded.
To answer your assumption first: > I'm assuming the nar is just a zip like jars and wars. Yes, this is true. This is what I've done: I created a new jar with the components.xml file containing your component-set tags in the specified directory path. I used maven to create and install the jar and ended up with a jar called: narUnArchiver-0.1.jar I then added the dependency tags as described in your blog post as follows: ... <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId> org.freehep </groupId> <artifactId> freehep-nar-plugin </artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id> download-a-nar </id> <phase> package </phase> <goals> <goal> nar-download </goal> <goal> nar-unpack </goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId> narUnArchiver </groupId> <artifactId> narUnArchiver </artifactId> <version> 0.1 </version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> </plugins> </build> ... This builds successfully, but the contents of the nar files are not included in the target directory. I also tried your other idea of adding it in the build extension: ... </plugin> </plugins> <extensions> <extension> <groupId> narUnArchiver </groupId> <artifactId> narUnArchiver </artifactId> <version> 0.1 </version> </extension> </extensions> </build> ... With the build extension (above) I get a build error: [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Internal error in the plugin manager executing goal 'org.freehep:freehep-nar-plugin:2.0-alpha-11-SNAPSHOT:nar-unpack': Unable to find the mojo 'org.freehep:freehep-nar-plugin:2.0-alpha-11-SNAPSHOT:nar-unpack' in the plugin 'org.freehep:freehep-nar-plugin' org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.zip.ZipUnArchiver ... Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.zip.ZipUnArchiver at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) So I believe the error is caused by the library not being found, but it is in the repository and I've tried including it as a project.dependency and as build.extensions.extension but to no avail. Any ideas as to what I am missing here? Thanks for your time and help! Brian E Fox wrote: > > I'm assuming the nar is just a zip like jars and wars.
