Excluding files from a jar
I have been trying to exclude certain files from the jar however it does
not seem to be working. I am trying to do this with the include and
exclude switches. I searched the mailing list and some posts say this
should work, others say no so I am trying to find out if anyone has
accomplished this with Maven 2.0.
For example, I have this in my pom.xml:
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/target</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/web/handlers/**/*.*</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}</directory>
<includes>
<include>ReleaseNotes.txt</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
Now the include works, it adds the release notes to the jar but the
exclude does not work. Very strange. Any ideas or comments on how to
accomplish this would be much appreciated.
I know I could do it with the ant plugin after the compile phase (move
the code I do not want out of the target folder) but I was hoping I
could simply accomplish this with the excludes switch.
Regards,
Mark

Here's a technique I received just the other day. I haven't done it yet,
because the Maven port has been moved down my priority list by senior
management, but it should work

Thanks for the links Robert. Based on the 2nd link, it looks like there
is some sort of patch for the plugin.
Is this something that I can install locally and if so, can you
recommend the best way to do this?
Regards,
Mark
