I am trying to remove a file from a dependency jar that I am including in my war file in maven. I am deploying the war to JBoss 5.1 and the jar in question contains a persistence.xml file that I don't want.

Here's what is going on:

my-webapp.war
|
`-- WEB-INF
    |
    `-- lib
        |
        `-- dependency.jar
            |
            `-- META-INF
                |
                `-- persistence.xml

When I am building my war, I want to remove persistence.xml Any one have any idea if this can be done easily?
