The Maven WAR plugin, when it overlays, *overwrites* competing filenames with the same name. Your solution will work if they are the same name and in embedded jar files, but will not work for a war overlay. We have exactly this situation for jawr configuration files - each war overlay needs to specify jawr-artifactid.properties - then we classpath scan for /WEB-INF/jawr-*.properties and assemble them using JAWR's muultiple source capability. Mark - we use war overlays, but we have built the necessary stuff to make us productive in and outside of the IDE. We use Jetty 9 and a runnable war, not sure if that matches at all, but we have code we can give you if it helps. We will be open sourcing once we move to git but our artifacts will never be in central as we are open sourcing them to allow for students to enhance and hack on our projects. Contact me off list if you are interested and I'll send you everything.
