Hi Spencer,
thank you for sharing these details.
Just my two cents...

Certainly it could be a problem... on the other hand I guess - provided that
publishing the war could be considered a not-so-strict requirement - the war
artifact could be marked with an apposite classifier, while the jar could
remain the main artifact (I suppose that should not be a real problem for
maven users).
Also, even restricting the hypothesis only to project deps (hence not
involving deps repositories) a convention for sharing resources between war
enabled projects could be a great enhancement.
I imagine a war plugin that simply adds some features to the Java or Groovy
one, /letting unchanged their original output and logic/ adding only other
output, conventions and logic, i.e. accessing the /webAppDir/ of relevant
war projects to merge that resources with the current project ones,
interpreting their deps with the right semantic (propagating provided deps
the right way) and so on.

Cheers
Davide
