Re: War resource filtering and excludes problem.

[Julian Wood]

Hi Chris,

Isn't this for use with war overlays? The way I understood this from  
the documentation was that if the module you're building depends on  
the creation of another war in your project, you can use this to  
combine the two wars, into a single war, excluding whatever you want  
from the war dependency. But maybe I'm wrong.

Anyways, trying this solution in my case, which is just a single war  
artifact, doesn't exclude anything, which is expected if I  
interpreted the documentation correctly. I even tried **/*.jar, and  
nothing is excluded (which I would expect). Maybe you're using it  
properly in a war overlay?

Thanks,

J

Hi Julian,

I do something similar for a war build with maven 2.x.  Here's my  
pom snippet:

<build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <dependentWarExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</ 
dependentWarExcludes>
        </configuration>
       </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Seetamraju,

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both patterns you suggested but
neither of them exclude anything at all. In other words, maven-war
still grabs the lib folder from src/main/webapp/WEB-INF and the lib
folder from what it builds in the target dir and combines them.

             <plugin>
                 <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                 <version>2.0.2</version>
                 <configuration>
                     <excludes>**/WEB-INF/lib</excludes>
                 </configuration>
             </plugin>

Thanks,

J

I don't think '*' is allowed within excludes.
I am sure you do not want the LIB subfolder either (in which case
WEB-INF/lib/* is not what you wanna write).

or

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>

<warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.*,WEB-INF/classes/**/*.*</
warSourceExcludes>

  </configuration>
</plugin>
