Description

maven-assembly-plugin v2.6 added support for tar.snappy file archives but I see that maven-dependency-plugin doesn't know about that type yet? I'm getting the following error:

Unknown archiver type: No such archiver: 'snappy'

I would have thought that compression is a shared component used by both but i don't know the implementation details.

Can support for tar.snappy be added to stay in sync with maven-assembly-plugin?
