Another solution from me, sorry for being late to the party but still might be useful for some people. Solution above simply didn't work for me because I had overlays in place and therefore using the replacer plugin was hard in the main source. Hence, I used maven-war-plugin to generate the temporary directory for me in the prepare-package phase and have replacer plugin to manipulate it and release the war from that directory so that nothing else overrides with it.

      
    maven-war-plugin
    
      
        prepare
        prepare-package
        
          exploded
        
        
          ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-patched/
        
      
      
        default-war
        package
        
          war
        
        
          true
          ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-patched/
        
      
    
  
  
    com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin
    replacer
    
      
        prepare-package
        
          replace
        
      
    
    
      ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-patched/fileToBeChanged.txt
