filtering resources in maven-war-plugin

[David Birch]

Hi,
  i seem to be getting some strange behaviour with the war plugin (versions
2.0.2 & 2.0.3-SNAPSHOT), if i do a build with the goal "install", the
resources are filtered properly, if i only go so far as war:exploded or
war:war, they don't get filtered. I have debugged, and it looks like there
are 3 steps of calling the plugin in a normal install (trace is below),
during the first call on the plugin code,  the resources are copied but not
filtered (webResources property is null), but on the subsequent invokes the
resources are filted. When i execute standalone calls to war:exploded or
war:war, the resources are not filtered - webResources is null & thus the
filtering code is never invoked.
FYI - i have tested with both maven 2.0.4 & 2.0.6

If anyone has any ideas so i can avoid the full install process would be
great - the wars i have inherited are a little on the large side so all the
construction & copying is a bit of a slowdown.

thanks
David

the build section of my pom is like so:
<build>

       <filters>
           <filter>build.properties</filter>
       </filters>

       <resources>
           <!-- filter the xml & properties resources -->
           <resource>
               <filtering>true</filtering>
               <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
               <includes>
