Description

With MSHARED-966 the behavior for the maven-resources-plugin changed dramatically.

Now an exception is thown if a file already exists.
Before it was only overwritten if newer and no exception was thrown.

The new behavior breaks many builds. If this new behavior is a feature the plugin site should be updated with a big warning to everyone.
