Assembling assemblies with exclude/include patterns

[Guillaume Polet <gu...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'm kind of new to the assembly plugin but I'm starting to get some 
stuff out of it. However there is one trick I couldn't get to work so 
far, so I'm looking for some help on this.

Here is my situation: I have a bunch of projects which all produce a jar 
file (without any resources, just classes) and a zip file containing all 
the resources (no classes, no jars). This works smoothly and I'm very 
happy of the output they each produce.
On addition to that, I have four projects that are various combination 
of the projects mentionned above. What I would like to do is to have 
them produce a zip file with the following structure: all the resources 
(located in the zip previously created) of the projects they depend of 
at the top of the zip file, and within a lib directory, all the jars 
they depend of.
To do this, I have added 2 dependecy sets: one to include all jars and 
place them in a lib directory, and one to unpack all my zips.
I think I'm really close to a solution, but I have one problem, which is 
that all my classes are also included along the resources. It seems that 
the exclusion patterns donnot work with the second dependency set.
Is there a way to get to what I would like, or is this simply not possible?

Many thanks in advance

My assembly descriptor for those four projects look like this:
<assembly>
  <id>packaging</id>
  <formats>
    <format>zip</format>
  </formats>
  <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
  <dependencySets>
    <dependencySet>
      <includes>
          <include>*.jar</include>
      </includes>
      <excludes>
          <exclude>*.zip</exclude>
      </excludes>
      <outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
    </dependencySet>
    <dependencySet>
      <unpack>true</unpack>
      <outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
      <includes>
          <include>*.zip</include>
      </includes>
      <excludes>
          <exclude>*.jar</exclude>
      </excludes>
      <unpackOptions>
          <excludes>
              <exclude>*.class</exclude>
              <exclude>**/*.class</exclude>
              <exclude>META-INF</exclude>
          </excludes>
      </unpackOptions>
    </dependencySet>
  </dependencySets>
</assembly>

Re: Assembling assemblies with exclude/include patterns

Ok, well, worry that I have bothered you because I found my issues since.
Two stuffs were actually causing my problems:
1) My repository was somehow corrupted and there were two shared jars 
containing the same descriptor. The plugin was using an old one instead 
of the ones I was updating while trying to find a solution
2) the include/exclude patterns were incorrect and replacing *.jar by 
*:jar:* and *.zip by *:zip:* did the trick. This is a little bit 
confusing because the include/exclude patterns in the dependency sets 
are not the same as in filesets (which by the way is logical but the 
documentation does not really specify that they are different)

I am just posting this so that if anyone run into the same issue, he can 
read the solution I have found.
