Unpacking an assembly inside of a war

Question

Hi all,

I have another project which contains static content (css, images, JS, etc.), and I need that to be copied to the web root directory of jetty for testing. In that project, I output a zip file packaging up all of the images, CSS, etc.

I have several of those virtualhost projects for different clients and my question is, how do I unpack the zip file that was already installed into the maven repository to the jetty web root?

@Update:

Embedded error: Unable to download the artifact from any repository

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:
    mvn install:install-file -DgroupId= com.virtualhost -DartifactId=something
-Dversion=0.0.1 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=/path/to/file

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
    mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=c com.virtualhost -DartifactId=something-D
version=0.0.1 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[i
d]


  com.virtualhost:something:zip:0.0.1

It should be possible with dependency:unpack than you could bind on prepare-package phase. See Unpacking specific artifacts for an example (in you case, use a <type>zip</type>).
