> What is included in the .ear file is determined by the module list and the dependency list and its transitive dependencies. We are often confronted with changing demands about what to include in our ear files. It is quite hard to change our dependency management (scopes) every time without side-effects on other distributable artifacts. So I created an exclude configuration option which allows to exclude artifacts from the ear file based on regular expressions (java.util.regex) matching artifactIds and groupIds.
> Use it like this:
> <configuration>
>    <excludes>
>       <exclude>
>          <groupId>be.nondistributable.*</groupId>
>       </exclude>
>    </excludes>
> </configuration>
