Vincent Massol commented on MWAR-81: ------------------------------------ I need this too. My use case: I want to exclude log4j-<version>.jar but keep the log4j-over-slf4j-<version>.jar... > Request enhancement to pattern matching for > warSourceIncludes/warSourceExcludes functionality (regular expressions?) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MWAR-81 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-81 > Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin > Issue Type: Wish > Environment: n/a > Reporter: Bryan Loofbourrow > Priority: Minor > > The Maven War Plugin currently permits choosing what files will wind up in > the .war. It does this via two parameters, warSourceIncludes, and > warSourceExcludes. The rule appears to be that the includes are computed, > and a list of matches made, then that list is run against the excludes, and > any matches taken out of the include list. > The only wildcards that appear to be supported are *, **, and ?. > That doesn't work well if you are packaging wars in ears, and therefore want > to exclude all jars from the war, except for one or two that have to be in > the war in order to run properly. "Exclude all but foo.jar and bar.jar" just > doesn't translate well to "here's your simple include template, here's your > simple exclude template" representation, at least with current wildcards. > So this is a wish specifically for something to address the "exclude all but > x, y, and z" need for war source includes/excludes, and a suggestion that it > might be best to deprecate the warSourceIncludes/warSourceExcludes approach > in favor of a single parameter that supports regular expressions instead. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
