title: Creating a zip archive of the maven "target" directory
body: <p>I wish to create a zip archive of my "target" directory (${project.build.directory). using the maven-assembly-plugin seems to me like overkill for such a simple task (and a bit complicated - why must I use another file, the assembly descriptor, for such a task)
  I can't locate the seemingly more simple <a href="http://people.apache.org/~olamy/snapshots/maven-zip-plugin/project-summary.html" rel="noreferrer">maven-zip-plugin</a> in the <a href="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2" rel="noreferrer">http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</a> repository. </p>
  
  <p>Any input?</p>
