Brett Porter commented on MASSEMBLY-586: ---------------------------------------- seems to make sense, but where do you think it's best implemented? One option is in the plugin configuration as a global exclusion. The other I could see is a global excludes (kind of like default excludes) in a assembly descriptor. Or perhaps a more general defaultFileSet could be defined in an assembly descriptor that is applied to all fileSets in that descriptor (including components)? > Add global/ubiquitous excludes to assembly and component descriptors > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-586 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-586 > Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Lars Corneliussen > > Especially when composing assembly descriptors from multiple components, it > would be good to be able to define excludes, that have global effect on all > descriptors.
