What is the right way to create a patch jar file?

I need to support patching: creating a jar file that has just those classes modified since a base line. Is Maven the right tool to do this? If so how? There is a patch plugin for Maven1, but nothing for Maven2. Thanks, C. Helck

RE: Porpuse of src/main/config

Here's my understanding... In maven1, files in 'config' were packaged into the jar file. At some point it was decided that 'resources' was a better name than 'config', so now 'config' is just another directory that Maven doesn't do anything with. In general Maven doesn't know how you're going to
