I thought I had explained this?
Under no circumstances am I asking that classes not ever go into the classes directory, I'm not even asking that the JAR method be the default... I just want to be able to do it.
Our requirements do not "clash" not even a little bit. So far, I've only herd reasons against it like "we don't want to, because we can't see the value" while I've given a good reason to add it -- I don't see where the problem is in terms of *adding the ability*... please note I didn't say *remove the old method*.
As for "convincing" people, I don't actually care if you want to use it or not; I explained why I was asking for it and it's a valid reason with a solid implementation behind it (the subject is RFE with means "request for enhancement").
If you want to know more about what I'm doing (and why I'm asking for this), you can get a very good idea at this site:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/versioning/index.html
Specifically take a look at the "Package Versioning Specification" which is link to the URL above, or at this URL:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/versioning/spec/versioningTOC.html
I apologize to everyone if I'm sounding a bit "huffy" in this post but I've said the same thing for the 3rd time now.
Frankly I think it imperative in a tool that your not supposed to have to customize too much, that all the options are covered... and that alone is a reason to add this ability.
Mavin is built on the premise that the build is "uniform" and "easy", so if I go and write my own plugin that duplicates exactly what another plugin already does except one small addition, what the heck is the point of Maven in the first place? I'd be better off using Ant.

But sometimes two users have clashing requirements ( I am myself also a user of war plugin and in some cases for some reasons I really need to have classes in WEB-INF/classes folder).
If you are not convincing enough you have 0% of chances that such change which your are asking for will be ever made.
