Allow regular expressions in include/exclude patterns for filesets
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-414
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-414
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-3
Reporter: John Casey
In certain cases, it's very difficult to accomplish the right blend of
inclusions and exclusions for fileSets. For instance, if a project contains
${basedir}/target and ${basedir}/src/site/resources/examples/target/blah, and
also contains child modules with similar constructs, it can be next to
impossible to include all of the legit sources for the project structure while
at the same time excluding the target directories generated during a build.
With regex and negative-lookahead, we could handle this case. Therefore, we
should provide some syntax for embedding a regular expression in an
include/exclude pattern. This will help the assembly plugin to generate a
release source bundle for ASF projects.
