deploy zip created by grunt to maven repository - maven

Question

I use the frontend-maven-plugin to run a grunt build with maven.
I have the following pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

The grunt task creates a zip file which is called kuku.zip. I want to deploy this zip file to a maven repository.
There are questions on deploying zip files to maven:
Jenkins "Post Build Action" to deploy zip on Maven repository
But here the situation is different because there already a jar is created and i want to attach an additional zip file and here i don't have another artifact.
How can i achieve this task with maven?

Answer 1

I followed the approach of maven-assembly-plugin.
First i defined an assembly descriptor.xml
<assembly>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>kuku</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
and here is the changed pom
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
