Joerg Schaible commented on MWAR-257:
-------------------------------------
The deprecation should be simply reverted. Even the plugin overlay
documentation (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/overlays.html)
explicitly refers dependentWarExcludes and dependentWarIncludes as *the only*
possibility to make global settings in a plugin management section that is
inherited in multiple projects. There is no equivalent possible with
overlays/overlay/excludes or overlays/overlay/includes and actually it is also
not necessary to introduce something else for a mechanism that is working
properly.

> Key: MWAR-257
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-257
> Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: overlay
> Affects Versions: 2.1.1
> Reporter: dool
>
> Hello,
> DependentWarExcludes is marked as deprecated. Documentation says to use
> <overlay>/<excludes> instead.
> But it seems to me that it is not possible to get the same behaviour with
> <overlay>/<excludes> as in this case we have to provide groupIds and
> artifactIds.
> Maybe this behaviour could be reproduced when setting both groupId and
> artifactId to * as below :
> <overlays>
> <overlay>
> <excludes>
> <groupId>*</groupId>
> <artifactId>*</artifactId>
> <exclude>**/*</exclude>
> </excludes>
>
> </overlay>
> </overlays>
> By the way, I found this, by looking for a way to disable overlay. The
> workaround I thought was configuring your plugin to exclude every files when
> overlaying.
> I think it would be nice to have a configuration parameter for that.
> Many thanks,
> Dool
