["Dennis Lundberg (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Dennis Lundberg commented on MJAR-128:
--------------------------------------

How do you like this to work? I understand your use case, but what would a configuration for the jar-plugin with this functionality look like? I suppose a new mojo is needed. jar:update or something like that. Would you use it in executions?

>             Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 2.2

> As a user of the maven jar plugin I want to be able to modify/update existing jars.  For example, I want to replace a few class files in a jar and i want to replace a few sources files in a sources jar artifact.  Adding/removing should also be supported.
> This is a needed feature because for large jars, it takes to long to unpack and re-jar.
