Description

I have multiple web applications who share common resources.
So I use the war overlays mechanism.

All seems ok except for common properties files that I want to filter when creating the web applications.
For instance (see war-overlays-filter.zip in attachment):
My war-common war
war-common.war

– WEB-INF\classes\filter.properties (which contains for instance title.main=Prototype ${pom.name})

I would like to create the war-filter-overlay web application
war-filter-overlay.war

– WEB-INF\classes\filter.properties (which contains the filtering property title.main=Prototype war-filter-overlay)

As suggested by Olivier Lamy it tried this configuration

 
      <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.1-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT</version>
          <!--version>2.1-alpha-1</version-->
          <!--version>2.0.2</version-->
          <configuration>
            <overlays>
              <overlay>
                <groupId>debug.war</groupId>
                <artifactId>common-overlay</artifactId>
                <!--targetPath>filter</targetPath-->
                <filtered>true</filtered>
              </overlay>
            </overlays>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

Unfortunately it's not working.
