Javier Diaz commented on MNG-1683: ---------------------------------- We are interested in this ticket and we have tried the solution provided by Pino. We have used succesfully for some time but now we need to add type zip as a dependency for another project. Maven should treat it as a overlay like it does with war type. Is it getting to complex? Does it makes sense?
