I read through all these threads, and they kind of ran off into entirely different tracks on alternate build systems and CM.

On Kenney's points in particular:

Well, it depends on how 'resources' are defined. The definition, as defined by current behaviour, is a classpath resource (or equivalent for your given language that isn't Java). The WAR plugin already has a custom configuration <webResources/>, which are 'packaging resources', a different thing.

We can't repurpose <resources/> or change the war plugin in the ways you've suggested (disallowing classes) without a significant break in backwards compatibility (far worse than changing the lifecycle)

My opinion is still that adding 'packaging resources' (or something with a better name), and the corresponding lifecycle stages (for consistency with other types of 'resources') is the best solution to the presented use cases (rather than a pre-package phase, though that'd do the trick too).

WDYT?
