Thanks All, I was able to remove a class file from jar file.
Now, my problem is : I am using the following structure EService -Service : Contains all the content of war file -src -config -pom.xml : It creates a war file -ear :Additional xml files required for deploying service on Weblogic and .war of Service module -src -pom.xml : contains ear plugin for creating ear file -pom.xml : Parent pom.xml for Service & ear modules I want to exclude class from dependency jar in war. It looks like the plugin <plugin> <groupId>org.n0pe.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>jaroverlay-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </plugin> removes the things from the archive which is installed in repository. I dont want to install war file to repository since I am going to install ear file (which does not contain that DOMMessageProvider.class file ).
