Maven filtering for overlays does not work

I have a java web project with filtered overlay that runs correct with command

mvn clean tomcat:run-war

But if I set it up in Intellij and use "On frame deactivation: Updatea classes and resources"

Intellij will update classes and resources without filtering them, so the application will start crashing.

Is there any way to make this work somehow?

Example overlay:

<overlay>
    <groupId>xxx</groupId>
    <artifactId>yyy</artifactId>
    <filtered>true</filtered>
    <includes>
        <include>META-INF/context.xml</include>
        <include>robots.txt</include>
        <include>WEB-INF/web.xml</include>
        <include>WEB-INF/classes/*.properties</include>
    </includes>
</overlay>

Hello,

Sorry, but overlays aren't supported yet: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-51429, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-119933

Overlays are supported, because I have been using it for years with IntelliJ.
But from the issue I see that include / exclude syntax is not supported.

So basicly work arround would be to put those resources that I want to include as own package and use filtering without defining include or exclude, that can work for now, thanks for the help!
