regex not working in dependency exclude?

[Jing Xue <ji...@digizenstudio.com>]

Hi,

Same trunk build from 4/1 as my last message.

I have this fragment:
<dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-hibernate3" rev="2.0.3" conf="build->default">
  <exclude module="jta" />
  <exclude module="spring-*" />
</dependency>

The idea is to exclude the spring-* module jars, because I have already
got spring.jar.

That pattern didn't work though. I had to do:
<dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-hibernate3" rev="2.0.3" conf="build->default">
  <exclude module="jta" />
  <exclude module="spring-core" />
  <exclude module="spring-dao" />
  <exclude module="spring-beans" />
  <exclude module="spring-jdbc" />
  <exclude module="spring-context" />
</dependency>

What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any hint.

 First, the documentation is misleading, I've just fixed it, because Ivy
uses a pattern matcher to match your exclusion expression, so you have to
set another attribute to recognize regular expression:
<dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-hibernate3" rev="2.0.3"
conf="build->default">
  <exclude module="jta" />
  <exclude module="spring-*" pattern="regexp"/>
</dependency>
Second, I've faced some issues on the trunk with exclusion, so I think there
is a bug. I'll try to reproduce it in my own environment, and keep you
informed.
