**[Scott Ryan](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sryan737)** commented This is a huge showstopper for us. We have a number of WAR projects that include 1-5 other war projects as dependencies. We are getting many many duplicate jars with conflicting version numbers and with unpredictable results. It would be great if the war overlay would allow us to exclude the lib directory and instead use the transitive dependencies that were originally defined in the war that is being overlayed. This would also require all dependencies from all overlayed wars to be reconciled between themselves as well as within the containing artifact. This would also tranfer down the chain of depedencies so that all transitive dependencies would be resolved correctly and at one time. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
