Carlos Sanchez commented on MWAR-72:
------------------------------------

i think current war must always win, that's the easy solution and how classpaths also work. The problem is when you overlay more than one war.

> If you have a template war TEMPLATE.war that is used to overlay the current project war CURRENT.war, and there are values in the CURRENT.war that should never be overlaid, a mechanism needs to exist to protect those resources.
> Example:
> template.war uses xwork - /WEB-INF/classes/xwork.xml
> current.war also uses xwork.
> when you overlay template.war onto current.war you want to prevent /WEB-INF/classes/xwork.xml from being overwritten.
>  desired.

> You can use the maven-shared/file-management FileSet implementation to perform this (see maven-clean-plugin) for example usage.
