Description

The default behavior of ant:copy is to not overwrite files if an newer file exists. However, when war dependencies are included and merged (see MPWAR-41), this means that resources of this project might be overriden by resources from an included war file (which is counterintuitive: project resources should override all included files if they overlap)

The line to change is

<ant:copy todir="$

{maven.war.webapp.dir}

" preservelastmodified="true" overwrite="true">
