> They were removed because they aren't reliable in a transitive
> environment. It implies that the dependency knows something about the
> environment of the dependee, which is back to front. In most cases,
> granted, the value for war bundle will be the same for a particular
> dependency - but that relies on the dependency specifying it.
> In the end, we give control to the actual POM doing the building,
> trying to use sensible defaults that minimise what needs to be
> specified, and allowing the use of artifact filters in the
> configuration of plugins.
