**[Robert Scholte](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rfscholte)** commented The code currently works like this: first create an exploded war ( as in `war:exploded` ), use this as input for the war ( as in `war:war` ). The latter is responsible for adding files like MANIFEST.MF, pom.xml and pom.properties. One solution would be to reverse this, so the exploded war looks exactly like the warfile, but that needs a huge rewrite, feeding the archiver with the right resources. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
