             Summary: web.xml not being replaced but plugin configuration
                 Key: MWAR-352
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-352
             Project: Maven WAR Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.6
         Environment: Windows 7 x64, Eclipse Luna, JSF 2 project
            Reporter: Alex Sebastiao Constancio


My pom.xml file has the following in it:

	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        		<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        		<version>2.6</version><!--$NO-MVN-MAN-VER$-->
       			<configuration>
    				<webXml>src/main/webconfig/release/web.xml</webXml>
    			</configuration>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>

As you can see, the web.xml to be used by war plugin when running Maven install is located outside of the webapp folder. This work perfectly if there ins't a web.xml in webapp/WEB-INF folder, but the pluging refuses to use the web.xml from webconfig/release if there is already a file with the same name in webapp/WEB-INF.

The issue is that I have to keep one web.xml in webapp/WEB-INF in order to be able publish the application to my local application server for debug. This file has particular settings for a local environment.

However, when I want to produce a war to publish in the production server, it has to be another web.xml, the one located in webconfig/release folder. Problem is that the war plugin does not replaces one file by the other when generating the war file.
