It is not possible to use JAR packager API for providing of own set of ArchiveMember elements that will be procesed. The reason is that internal implementation assumes that ArchiveMember can be casted to ContentMember. This is used for resolving of links (DataShadows) during JarCreator.processMemberSet() call. Unfortunatelly this needs to be overriden in WAR packaging. When there is a DataShadow under WEB-INF/classes we want to put resolved objects into WEB-INF/classes again.
Set target milestone to TBD
It is not possible to fix it reliably without rewriting everything - the current impl. is quite a mess. Such a rewrite is due for v4.0 with projects .
removing the keyword. This bug is not relevant in 4.0 version. Also marking as won't fix, as in 3.4 this cannot be fixed.
