snapcraft stage->snap filter

[Reto Breitenmoser]

Hi Alexander

My snap consist of a jre and a tomcat app server on which my java program
runs.Because I want to extract the jre and tomcat tar to a /opt folder, I
wrote a modified content_tar.py plugin.

This is an extract from my snapcraft.yaml file

parts:
    tomcat:
        plugin: tar-content
        source: /path/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.30.tar.gz
        destination: opt/tomcat
    jdk:
        plugin: tar-content
        source: /path/java/jdk-8u65-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz
        destination: opt/java
    local-files:
        plugin: make
        source: .

The files were copied all to the stage folder

drwxrwxr-x 2 reto reto 4096 Jan  5 22:52 bin
drwxrwxr-x 4 reto reto 4096 Jan  5 22:52 opt
drwxrwxr-x 2 reto reto 4096 Jan  5 22:52 tomcat-conf

But to the snap folder, only the bin and tomcat-conf folder is copied.

I tried it also with filesets but also no luck.
