maven ear plugin not copying all jar files from WEB-INF/lib of one of the war

Question

Our product has more four web modules; the maven script of the individual module builds the war file of respective web-modules by bringing all the dependencies as mentioned in pom.xml. We are also doing an overlay of a third-party module that copies additional jar files into WEB-INF/lib folder.

In the end, To simplify the distribution we are trying to create a single enterprise archive (ear) file which includes all war files along with its dependencies.

The maven-ear plugin, we are using copies only the jar files mentioned in pom.xml of sub-modules, not the ones copied by the result of the overlay.

Any help on this much appreciated.
