Pack library and all its dependencies to one folder, but other dependencies in separate folder

Question

I've maven project. I use maven-assembly-plugin to create zip files with all module dependencies packed in it. Need to create zip with following structure:

/my-libs
/other-libs

To my-libs need to pack dependencies from my-lib depenency + all its transitive dependencies. TO other-libs need to pack all other dependencies from current maven module.

Basically I need conditionally select target folder:

if (dependency in transitive-dependencies(my-lib))
   copy to /my-libs
else
   copy to /other-libs

Is it possible to do with maven-assembly-plugin ? Are there any alternative maven plugins to do so?

You need to define two dependencySet in the assembly XML file

<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
