Hi John, I see two issues below. The first is that the includes/excludes is only available in 2.0-alpha-5-SNAPSHOT. The second is more to your question. You can skip specifying a version in the artifactItems if you put that dependency version in your dependencyManagement section. Then you can also omit it in your dependencies declaration and have only one place to control the version.

I just want to unpack that JAR instead of add it to lib directory. Any ideas what is wrong? I'm a bit concerned that I have both a declared dependency at the top of my pom and then this plugin configuration - could that lead to version conflicts, will the plugin config default to the previously declared version?

Next version of the WAR plugin has a new overlay handling but we do not consider handling jars for the moment.
