Yes, will go down this route. 

Fun side note: that warning was so far mostly applied to the outputDirectory 
part. But this is just the path INSIDE the zip. So most of the warnings have 
been pretty much useless ;)

Will continue to work on this. Probably we might also extract the path handling 
out into maven-shared-utils even. Let's see.
