--------------------------------------

I had a look at you attachment, but I don't understand your use case.
Can you explain some more what you want to do and why?

> Despite the fact that it is possible to generate a custom manifest as described in [war-manifest-guide|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-manifest-guide.html], it's not good enough when using the overlays mechanism. The maven-war-plugin can't take into account an existing manifest. It can just generate a new one with the corresponding configuration in the pom.
> However, if you use the overlays mechanism, you rather want to keep the manifest from your common war (see custom-manifest-war-overlays.zip in attachment).
