Description

When a war project use war overlays, it may have resources that are inherited from its war dependencies (JSP files, conf files, ...).
As the tomcat run goal uses warSourceDirectory as docRoot, it will lead to inconsistent behaviour as some files will not be found by Tomcat.
This should either fixed or clearly stated in the documentation
