Actually the latest development version of the maven-war-plugin should
support this. MNG-1507 added the ability to merge war dependencies into the
target war artifact.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1507

Files are never overwritten and includes/excludes are supported with the
following syntax:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.0-beta-3-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <configuration>
    <!-- This is the default for dependentWarIncludes
    <dependentWarIncludes>**</dependentWarIncludes>
    -->
    <dependentWarExcludes>**/*.properties</dependentWarExcludes>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Just create a dependency of <type>war</type>.

Subject: shared web components

Hi,

Is there a plugin for M1.1 or M2 which handles artifacts that may be 
used by more than one webapp.

e.g. I may have a project that contains web artifacts: jsps, css, html, 
images, js, etc.  May also contain java classes, tlds etc.  I wish to 
use these components within other webapps.

When including within other webapps, the web artifacts would be copied 
to the target webapp directory and any classes could be included in a 
jar within the WEB-INF/lib directory.

Does such a plugin exist? or is there one in the pipeline?

The functionality is a more generalised version of the 
maven-struts-module-plugin developed to include pre-built struts-modules 
within other struts webapps.

cheers
Nathan
