Pierre-Yves Ricau commented on MJAR-128:
----------------------------------------
This kind of functionality would be great! I think the maven-jar-plugin should
provide the same behavior as the maven-war-plugin, and its "Maven WAR Overlay"
method. See here :
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/war-overlay.html
The common usage is basically : "oh I'd like to use this nice artifact, but hey
it doesn't integrates well with XXX, let's patch it and create a new artifact".
The great benefits would be having only a pom.xml and the patched files on a
source repository, instead of committing the whole sources of the artifact.
I am trying to achieve this kind of things with Maven Assembly Plugin, but it's
a bit overkill, and quite hard to configure...

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: David Hoffer
>
> As a user of the maven jar plugin I want to be able to modify/update existing
> jars. For example, I want to replace a few class files in a jar and i want
> to replace a few sources files in a sources jar artifact. Adding/removing
> should also be supported.
> This is a needed feature because for large jars, it takes to long to unpack
> and re-jar.
