jira-importer opened a new issue, #203: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-war-plugin/issues/203
**[Michal Domagala](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michaldo)** opened **[MWAR-360](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-360?redirect=false)** and commented Example: I have WAR project 'Base' with class A. I have WAR project 'Level1' which is depends on 'Base'. 'Level1' has class B extends A. Then 'Base' must have \<attachClasses>true\</attachClasses> Finally, I have WAR project 'Level2' with class C extends B. For the same reason 'Level1' must have \<attachClasses>true\</attachClasses> Expected: when Level2 WAR is build, only Level1 WAR is overlayed, because Level1 contains Base Actual: Level1 and Base are overlayed together. That wastes time. ``` [INFO] Copying webapp resources [mwar/Level2/src/main/webapp] [INFO] Processing overlay [ id mwar:Level1] [INFO] Processing overlay [ id Base:Base] [INFO] Webapp assembled in [26 msecs] ``` Reason: Level1 classes JAR has dependency to Base WAR, but that dependency is "fake" ``` [INFO] mwar:Level2:war:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT [INFO] +- mwar:Level1:war:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] \- mwar:Level1:jar:classes:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] +- Base:Base:war:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] \- Base:Base:jar:classes:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:compile ``` Proposed solution: There should be option 'notOverlayTransitiveWar' which allow exclude WARs like 'Base' from overlaying, because the transitive WAR may be reached only over JAR and I think there is no reason any JAR really depends on WAR. Workaround is manually define ovelays in plugin configuration, but Maven spirit is Convention over Configuration ## example 1. git clone https://github.com/michaldo/mwar360.git 2. cd mwar360 3. mvn package --- No further details from [MWAR-360](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-360?redirect=false) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
