title: Create zip in maven with additional files next to the jar
body: <p>The only Maven experience I have is including other libraries so I need a very basic explanation about how I can achieve things in Maven with Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create my jar regulary. Then I want to take 3 further files and put all files together in 1 zip file. The content of my zip should look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>A.jar
  B.txt
  C.txt
  D.bat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I have to insert certain goals in my <code>pom.xml</code> file. I already saw posts on Stack Overflow (i.e. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5717183/create-a-zip-with-all-dependencies-with-maven">here</a>) regarding similar topics. I also tried the Maven documentation like <a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/descriptor-refs.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. Do I already need any Maven plugins or is still already Maven-core stuff?</p>
  
  <p>But my skills are not enough yet to transfer this information for my case.  </p>
