Description

If you reference an object of type pom and pull its dependencies into a path object, the resulting path will contain the pom files which java then presumes to be malformed zip files.

If you use type="jar" then it will not resolve the dependencies of the pom artifact at all, so you need to have type="jar,pom" to get the dependencies of the packaging pom artifact.

What is needed is a separate pathType attribute to allow retrieving the full set of dependencies into the fileset, while selecting a subset for the path object.
