The dependency plugin actually started because I needed a way to do
overlays before the war plugin supported it. You can just unpack (and
you can filter the unpack to control just the files you want) directly
to the target/[finalname] folder where the war plugin assembles things.
To make this work, I was using a very old war plugin because the newer
one stomped on files based on their timestamps. The newer war plugin is
supposed to have the ability to control the overlaying, but I no longer
work on projects with overlays so I can't say how well it works.

There is or was a patch plugin at one point.
