DependencySets Includes/Excludes Do Not Work Correctly And Type Is Ignored --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-346 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-346 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2 Environment: Win2003/Cygwin Maven 2.0.8 Reporter: gotama There are a lot of things wrong with includes/excludes and types in DependencySets. Basically, it needs to be completely regression tested as it completely does not work right in many ways. group:artifact:type In describing type, its ignored. When I put zip for type, I can get ear files. When I exclude all com.* artifacts then include my own com.mydotcom.* - I actually get double the ears in my resulting zip artifact. Example below: <dependencySets> <dependencySet> <outputDirectory>/opt/jboss/server/default/deploy/</outputDirectory> <excludes> <exclude>com:*</exclude> </excludes> </dependencySet> <dependencySet> <outputDirectory>/opt/jboss/server/default/deploy/</outputDirectory> <includes> <include>com.mydotcom:*:ear</include> </includes> </dependencySet> </dependencySets> In general, there seems to be issue with the wild card. Putting com.mydotcom:*:zip - once the * is hit, everything after it is ignored. However, for <include> putting com:*:zip does work correctly - oddly enough. It correctly does NOT give me ear files. When I put com:*:ear I correctly get ears. When I put com.mydotcom:*:zip, then I incorrectly get all ears. Lots of inconsistencies here and odd behavior. Here is a good document on includes/excludes. Unfortunately, this does not work right. I'd suggest excludes/includes be completely re-looked at.
