Hi, For some reason this simple little task is making my head spin...
I am trying to filter out some files from my war using <webResources>/<resource>/<excludes>.... But everything i try to exclude ends up being put into the .war. There does seem to be a bug related to the issue I'm having (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-198) hopefully someone can help me with a work-around ? Here's what i did ... I created a simple maven web project using mvn archetype:generate. Then i added the following lines to the pom (in the build section): <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.2</version> <configuration> <webResources> <resource> <filtering>true</filtering> <directory>src/main/webapp</directory> <excludes> <exclude>**/*.jsp</exclude> </excludes> </resource> </webResources> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> I put in some dummy jsp's in the project for testing, like so: cbedf...@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > find . | grep jsp ./src/main/webapp/pig/zooboo.jsp ./src/main/webapp/index.jsp Then i ran mvn -X install .. the debug output indicated that the maven-war plugin recognized the file patterns that i specified as 'to be excluded'.. Here is the output: [DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.0.2:war' --> [DEBUG] (f) archiveClasses = false [DEBUG] (s) classesDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target/classes [DEBUG] (f) filters = [] [DEBUG] (f) outputDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target [DEBUG] (f) primaryArtifact = true [DEBUG] (s) project = MavenProject: com.lackey:findFiles:1.0-SNAPSHOT @ /tmp/trial/findFiles/pom.xml [DEBUG] (f) warName = findFiles [DEBUG] (s) warSourceDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/src/main/webapp [DEBUG] (s) filtering = true [DEBUG] (s) directory = src/main/webapp [DEBUG] (s) excludes = [**/*.jsp] [DEBUG] (f) webResources = [Lorg.apache.maven.model.Resource;@1815338 [DEBUG] (s) webappDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target/findFiles [DEBUG] (f) workDirectory = /tmp/trial/findFiles/target/war/work [DEBUG] -- end configuration -- HOWEVER.. when i dumped out the contents of the .war. .the files i was trying to filter were still there (as you can see below.). cbedf...@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > rm -rf /tmp/jar/* cbedf...@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > cp target/findFiles.war /tmp/jar cbedf...@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/trial/findFiles > cd !$ cd /tmp/jar cbedf...@cbedford-laptop: /tmp/jar > jar xvf findFiles.war created: META-INF/ inflated: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF created: pig/ created: WEB-INF/ inflated: pig/zooboo.jsp <<<--- inflated: index.jsp <<<--- inflated: zoo.do inflated: WEB-INF/web.xml created: META-INF/maven/ created: META-INF/maven/com.lackey/ created: META-INF/maven/com.lackey/findFiles/ inflated: META-INF/maven/com.lackey/findFiles/pom.xml inflated: META-INF/maven/com.lackey/findFiles/pom.properties I tried using <includes>...</includes> as well as <excludes>.. this did not help at all. If anyone sees a problem with how i invoked the plugin, or knows of a work-around, please do let me know ! i'd be very grateful. thanks ! chris PS: I tried the work-around in this thread (using packagingExcludes) http://old.nabble.com/Exclude-subversion-files-in-war-td5288845.html#a5288845 didn't work for me. -- Chris Bedford Founder & Lead Lackey Build Lackey Labs: http://buildlackey.com Go Grails!: http://groovy.buildlackey.com -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/not-able-to-get-maven-war-plugin-to-filter-out-unwanted-resources-from-my-.war-file.-tp27649724p27649724.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
