Maven how to unzip more than one file in same directory?

Question

I have more than one zip file in my folder. I want to unzip all of these files and put into destination folder. I want to avoid specifying each zip file in my pom.xml file. Please check the plugin I wrote. Isn't there any better solution which accepts *.zip files? Thanks a lot.

I'd use GMavenPlus like in this answer and
create code in the <script> section inspired by The Java™ Tutorials , Walking the File Tree and Unzip « File « Java Tutorial.

Example:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.gmavenplus</groupId>
      <artifactId>gmavenplus-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.5</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>unzip-files-in-folder</id>
          <phase>process-resources</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>execute</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <scripts>
              <script>
                // ... your unzip code goes here ...
              </script>
            </scripts>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>

      <dependencies>
        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
          <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
          <version>2.4.3</version>
          <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency>
      </dependencies>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. — LittleBobbyTables - Au Revoir, Jun 07 '15 at 01:49
@LittleBobbyTables AFAIK SO isn't intended to supply askers with code out of nothing. Instead of giving the OP a crucial hint where to start he has _nothing_ with your deletion of this answer. And most probably the SO and the Java Tutorials links aren't going to be changed ever. However, I added some example code to comply your will. — Gerold Broser, Jun 07 '15 at 08:35
