Delete file from dependency jar using truezip-maven-plugin for example

<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>truezip-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>remove-a-file-in-sub-archive</id>
        <goals>
            <goal>remove</goal>
        </goals>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <configuration>
            <fileset>
                <directory>target/mywar-webapp.war/WEB-INF/lib/dependency.jar/dirName/</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include>fileName.xml</include>
                </includes>
            </fileset>
        </configuration>
    </execution>
</executions>
