["Brett Porter (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Brett Porter commented on MASSEMBLY-586:
----------------------------------------

seems to make sense, but where do you think it's best implemented?

One option is in the plugin configuration as a global exclusion. The other I could see is a global excludes (kind of like default excludes) in a assembly descriptor.

Or perhaps a more general defaultFileSet could be defined in an assembly descriptor that is applied to all fileSets in that descriptor (including components)?

> Especially when composing assembly descriptors from multiple components, it would be good to be able to define excludes, that have global effect on all descriptors. The files and folders excluded globally "do just no exist". For example, if I want to be sure, "**/target/**" is ignored, I want to make sure that this is valid for ALL defined files and filesets.
> The easiest way would be to to inject those into all fileSets after (while respecting basedirs).
> If you like the idea, I'm happy to provide a patch.
