build assemblies with overlapping resources

[dermoritz <ta...@hotmail.com>]

i stumbled across the problem, that assembly-plugin can't handle overlapping
resources very well. in my case i tried to build an project depending on
emf(wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/EMF-FAQ#How_d..._ordinary_main.29.3F)
the problem is, each jar-File includes a "plugin.properties"-file which will
be overwritten by assembly plugin.
googling around yields "one-jar-plugin is what you need" but this isn't
working either. in fact it yields the same error - a missing resource
("_UI_DiagnosticRoot_diagnostic = Diagnosis of {0}"). the only difference
is, building it with assembly this resource is really missing (the jar only
has one plugin.properties without "_UI_DiagnosticRoot_diagnostic"). building
it with one-jar, i got a jar including all needed jars but it seems they are
not resolved correctly.

so how to get it working with one-jar. or how to get a clue why it is not
working?

(at the moment i use shade-plugin to solve this problem, this is working -
it simply merges all plugin.properties in one big file. but i can't ensure
that mering property files don't overwrites resources within this files)
