Exclusion of files doesn't work as documented
---------------------------------------------
Key: MWAR-250
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-250
Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1.1
Environment: maven-war-plugin 2.1.1, Maven 2.2.1, Java 1.6.0_18,
Windows XP
Reporter: Dirk Laube
I tried to exclude files and in accordance with the doc on
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html
I used the following maven-war-configuration, yet it didn't work for me, the
exclude definition is ignored:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp/</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.wsil</exclude>
<exclude>WEB-INF/web.xml</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
This configuration didn't work either:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<warSourceExcludes>**/*.wsil, WEB-INF/web.xml</warSourceExcludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Finally, with this configuration the specified files were excluded:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>**/*.wsil, WEB-INF/web.xml</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
That is, IMHO probably this is a bug, at least the documentation isn't in sync
with the plugin behaviour.
