**[Pierre-Yves Ricau](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=piwai)** commented This kind of functionality would be great! I think the maven-jar-plugin should provide the same behavior as the maven-war-plugin, and its "Maven WAR Overlay" method. See here : http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-overlay.html The common usage is basically : "oh I'd like to use this nice artifact, but hey it doesn't integrates well with XXX, let's patch it and create a new artifact". The great benefits would be having only a pom.xml and the patched files on a source repository, instead of committing the whole sources of the artifact. I am trying to achieve this kind of things with Maven Assembly Plugin, but it's a bit overkill, and quite hard to configure... -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
