I am writing a shell script that unzips a ZIP file into an existing hierarchy of files, potentially overwriting some of the files.
The problem is that the unzip command asks for confirmation:
replace jsp/extension/add-aspect.jsp? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
Is there an option to force unzip to overwrite the files?

According to you can use the -o option to overwrite files:
unzip -o /path/to/archive.zip
Note that -o, like most of unzip's options, has to go before the archive name.
If you need to unzip in order to replace the new files only, you can use
unzip -f archieve.zip
But for future references, you can just type
unzip
and you will get a list of the arguments for this package. The possible arguments are for this case are:
-f freshen existing files, create none
-n never overwrite existing files
-q quiet mode (-qq => quieter)
-o overwrite files WITHOUT prompting
Use the one that you feel more suited for you needs.
