Milestone
A common pattern that I have seen is the use of
zip
archives containing protobuf sourcesthat are then added as a dependency by other projects.
Currently, if a Maven project wishes to create one of these ZIPs, it is a somewhat manual
process that involves setting up the Maven Archiver plugin in a specific way.
I think we could make that easier for users by potentially having a goal in this project that
concerns itself with generating these kinds of archives automatically.
One idea could be to introduce a new project packaging type that limits the Maven phases that get run so that only the required steps get called, e.g:
This would then be able to register the ZIP as the project artifact for deployment to a Maven Central registry or similar.
