Description

My project generates wsdls using the jaxws-maven-plugin which puts the generated wsdls in ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/wsdls so that they are packaged up in the war file. Then I have a client jar that copies those wsdls out of the war file using the maven-dependency-plugin and generates a client from the wsdls using the jaxws-maven-plugin.

This all works fine using 3.2.3 of the maven-war-plugin. However, after upgrading to 3.3.0 my project fails to build because the wsdls are no longer preserved. It seems that they are being deleted by the maven-war-plugin.

I created an example project on Github which recreates the problem. The master branch is using 3.2.3 and the maven-war-plugin-3.3.0 branch is using 3.3.0. You can find more details in the readme file of the example project:

I also suspect that MWAR-427 is the change that introduced this bug.

Please let me know if there is anymore information I can provide. Thanks!
