Assembly Tar: How to exclude directories

[gotama <go...@bgb.net>]

I'm curious if the Assembly plugin is capable of creating a tar file similar
to the following command:

find * ! -type d | tar zcvfT $TARFILE -

if you exec 'tar ztvf myAssembly.tar.gz' you will see that directories are
listed in the tar file. if you create a tar w/ the above command, you will
notice that when you list the tar w/ 'tar ztvf myAssembly.tar.gz' you will
just see files and the full path to that file.

please note, i am not trying to exclude entire directories or to flatten the
tar, but to not include the directories in the tar. please try out these
commands w/ a sample if its confusing and you will see what i mean.

thanks.

Not to my knowledge. Maven doesn't execute the tar executable but
rather uses a Java implementation of it, which I don't believe has as
many different configuration options.
