Description

When one webapp module (war) depends on another webapp module (war), we sometimes get duplicate jars in the final webapp. This seems to only happen for snapshots.

For example:

   $ unzip -l apache-tomee-8.0.7-20210417.052409-158-plume.zip | grep cxf-core
     1431799  04-17-2021 05:23   apache-tomee-plume-8.0.7-SNAPSHOT/lib/cxf-core-3.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
     1431799  04-17-2021 05:23   apache-tomee-plume-8.0.7-SNAPSHOT/lib/cxf-core-3.5.0-20210417.035622-203.jar

Removing the dependency between each webapp fixes the issue. This also means we must copy the maven dependencies from the root tomee-webapp module into each of the previously dependent webapp modules.
