excluding a file inside a jar while building a war file
hi, i am trying to build a war file . Now is there a way by which
one can exclude certain files from a jar which is included inside this
war ?
e.g for building a war file say sample.war , i include myjar.jar as a
dependency but want to exclude myjar.jar/somefolder/somefile in it
inside this war, so is this possible?
Thanks

hi, actually the jar has structure as:
resources/folder1/file1.xml
resources/folder2/file2.xml
resources/folder2/file3.xml
Now i include this jar as a dependency for 3 different wars and for each war
in need to include only either file1.xml OR file2.xml OR file3.xml
Could you please tell how to use the upack/assembly here?
Thanks.

Yes but it is a hassle (with dependency:unpack and assembly etc).

As Hilco already stated, you should include that file in its own
artifact, then depend (or not) on it directly where it is needed,
instead of getting yourself into this difficult position with having
to pull it out when building some other artifacts that should not
include it.

Don't put them in the JAR in the first place?

If the need for "somefile" depends on other things then put it in a
different JAR/artifact and depend on that artifact where you actually
need it.
