+

+  
+<li>A new resources implementation that replaces Aliases, VirtualLoader, 
+      VirtualDirContext, JAR resources and external repositories with a single,
+      consistent approach for configuring additional web application resources.
+      The new resources implementation can also be used to implement overlays
+      (using a master WAR as the basis for multiple web applications that each
