Hi All,
First, thanks for the most excellent tool set, framework, etc. that Maven
provides. Although I'm just starting to get a handle on Maven basics, its
power as a build tool and its potential to provide a "lingua franca" for
inter/intra-project development is immediately apparent to me.
I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to use the war plugin to build a standard
.war file that does not include my java source files in the runtime .war.
Following the war plugin documentation I used the following snippet in
~/myproject/project.properties:
...
#I know this is the default (or is it?!)
maven.war.src=${maven.src.dir}/webapp/WEB-INF/classes
maven.war.classes.includes=**
maven.war.classes.excludes=**/*.java
...
This builds a war file as expected, but still includes all .java files.
I then tried adding the following to ~/myproject/project.xml:
...
<resources>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
<includes>
<include>**</include>
</includes>
</resources>
...
Also, to no avail. I've even tried setting this pattern directly in
$MAVEN_HOME/plugins/maven-war-plugin-1.1/plugin.properties.
I can see how to solve this issue (I think?!) by writing a custom pre-goal or
by overriding the war goal in maven.xml; however, given the fact that, based
on the documentation (and some of the list postings), this pattern filtering
should already be provided, and that the war goal seems to be of fundamental
importance to most Maven projects, I'd like to make sure I'm on the right
track.
Soo, is this a bug or a feature? If it's the latter, what --if anything,
considering my complete and total newbie status, -- can I do to help? I am
very excited about Maven and once I'm comfortable using it, would like to
contribute in some small (or large) way.
I am trying this with both b7 and the latest CVS snapshots on Linux/RH-7.3.
Any insight, advice, etc. would be much appreciated!
Thanks again for Maven!!
Matt
