Description

I'd like to be able to have a 'development' profile which I configure to include all versioning files. I'm dealing with complicated overlays, and sometimes it's simply easiest to fix a jsp or so directly on the spot where it is deployed, on the test-server or so, and check it in from there too. Probably I could also change our habits or so, and find some way of working which is more or less handy too, but for the moment I have no idea how that would go, and everything would work just fine if the 'useDefaultExcludes' feature can be disabled with a configuration option.

I tried to implement it myself, and am attaching a patch, which includes such an option. 

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1-beta-2-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <configuration>
          <useDefaultExcludes>false</useDefaultExcludes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

To have properly working .svn-checkouts, you need the empty dirs too.

Sometimes it is tempting to temporary make a symlink in the target dir to the source then.

Not adviceable as well. See MCLEAN-39.

If you use overlays, won't the SCM metadata files/directories be corrupted when the overlays are applied?

If files appear in the same directory in different overlays, then that may be the case. But normally, files from different overlays appear in different directories, and there is no problem in those directories then.
