Can anyone tell me why I can't seem to get <excludes> to work for a webResource?
I have the following in my pom: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.1</version> <configuration> <warName>${project.build.finalName}</warName> <warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/log4j*.jar</warSourceExcludes> <webResources> <resource> <directory>src/main/webapp</directory> <excludes> <exclude>**/*.gif</exclude> </excludes> </resource> </webResources> </configuration> </plugin> and a directory structure like: pom.xml src main webapp images x.gif y.gif But the gifs still get get packaged in the war in the images directory. How come? Thanks, Michael On 2/9/07, sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
