how to unzip a file using maven plugin

[vinitha simon]

Hi,

I have a zip file created as a part of the build, I would like to unzip this, I'm not sure how much 'maven-dependency-plugin' would help with this. any thoughts about how to proceed...

TIA

How about dependency:unpack?

[vinitha simon]

I've currently implemented it the following way..

   <plugin>
		        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
		        <executions>
		          <execution>
		          <phase>install</phase>
		            <configuration>
		              <tasks>
		              <!-- Using an ant task to deflate webinstaller.zip -->
		                <unzip src="webinstaller.zip" dest="${project.basedir}/deploy/target"/>
		              </tasks>
		            </configuration>
		            <goals>
		              <goal>run</goal>
		            </goals>
		          </execution>
		        </executions>
		      </plugin> 

Well, for 'dependency:unpack' I'm not sure if I would be able to provide artifactItems..

I'm just looking for a better way to achieve this...
