**[Joerg Schaible](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=joehni)** commented We fight with this problem also. Currently we use warExcludes and redeclare all the deps. The best solution though might be to introduce a war-client.jar similar to an ejb-client. The war-client.jar would contain all classes and - as attached artifact - it would provide the transitive deps. With such an artifact you could use a dependent war as overlay and exclude anything from WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes and declare the war-client as additional dep. Since the war-client is a jar, you'll inherit then all the transitive deps. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
