Hi, I don't think you want an overwrite there unless the file has changed, as you might want to preserve the timestamp on an unchanged file. We do this for deploying 'exploded' in our desktop development env. This saves us from having to wait for JSPs getting compiled if they are unchanged.

What is the procedure for requesting change to this plugin? The following code in the goal war needs to be changed because of the problems I am facing: <j:if test="${webSourcesPresent == 'true'}"> <ant:copy todir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}"> <ant:fileset dir="${maven.war.src}" includes="${maven.war.src.includes}" excludes="${maven.war.src.excludes}"> </ant:fileset> </ant:copy> </j:if> We need to add overwrite="true" to the <ant:copy > task above.
