I have an unpack execution which opens up a zip file in my deployment directory.
However, even when the target files are NOT in place, Maven usually says that the zip is already unpacked as follows [INFO] runtimelib-1.0.1.zip already unpacked. If I change <overWrite>false</overWrite> to true, and re-run, then the zip gets correctly unpacked, but I do want to be able to set overWrite to false and let Maven detect whether the target files are there already. The relevant parts of the pom are below. (Using Maven Integration for Eclipse 0.9.7.)
