Is it possible to build a zip-distribution that would contain a jar-with-dependencies?

I would like to produce a binary zip distribution of my project that would contain an uber jar and a set of scripts. Right now, I am using two descritors, first one for the uber jar, and the second for the zip that contains the uberjar + extra scripts and documentation. The problem is that both of these get deployed to maven repo, while I don't actually need the uberjar, only the distro. Is there any way to either:

Edit: I found this question regarding part 2, but perhaps there is an easier way to do it...

In my opinion, the easiest way is to create the uberjar in one module (set the skip optional parameter in the maven-deploy-plugin configuration to bypass it during deploy) and to create the zip distribution in another module (using a dependency on the previously created assembly as described in Assembling Assemblies via Assembly Dependencies). And that's very close to what you already have which is good news.
