Robert,
I just did this today to take advantage of the excludes fix that is in
the patched version.
What I did was the following:
1) In your .m2 folder, locate the settings.xml. You need to add the
repository link into it to tell Maven where to get the plugin from. Per the
instructions I found on the web, I added the following to my settings.xml
<pluginRepository>
<id>Maven Snapshots</id>
<url>http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
</pluginRepository>
2) In my pom.xml, I had to specify the version of the maven-jar-plugin I
wanted. Here is what I added:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
When you run maven, it should pull the new jar down to your local maven
repository.
To verify this, go to
.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-jar-plugin
You should see a 2.2-SNAPSHOT folder now and the jar will be in there.
I tested this on my system with an excludes swith to exclude some handlers
from a jar and it worked.
Regards,
Mark
