Resource inclusion/exclusion patterns-->what's the usage of include patterns?

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

Hi All,

I am working on a project were I would like to exclude all resources 
except the ones located within META-INF. After reading carefuly the 
documentation, it appears that excludes always beats includes, so doing 
what would only be natural, does not work:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*</exclude>
</excludes>
<includes>
<include>META-INF/**/*</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
...
</build>

So my second guess was to do the following:

<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<includes>
<include>META-INF/**/*</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
...
</build>

but still not what I want because I end up with everything.
--> what is the purpose of include patterns, if they embed everything 
anyway?

Is there a way to do what I want without having to use an additional 
resource directory?
