(was: Just to add that, with the said solutions, the generated JARs differ in name only, while content and MD5 are the same.)

> As their name implies, "archiveClasses" and "attachClasses" should avoid to put in the resulting jar the files under "src/main/resources" because:
> # they're not classes
> # they should be left in "WEB-INF/classes"
> # they could be environment dependent: via filtering, the resources in the deployed artifact could contain information which simply do not make sense in the repository (or, worse, could contain sensitive information)
> Of course, to preserve backward compatibility, I just suggest 2 alternatives:
> # a brand new element which joins the behavior of "archiveClasses" and "attachClasses" (e. g. "packageClasses/deployClasses") and a sibling element "packageResources" which puts the resources in a jar file in "WEB-INF/lib", but not in the repo
> # a new option used by the two elements which activates the new behavior.
> I'm assuming that the properties in subject should behave the same to avoid differences in artifact naming or content; see also [MWAR-215|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-215].
