The excludes field in the jar plugin is to exclude content from ${project.build.outputDirectory} not to exclude resources. In order to exclude resources have a look here [1].
I don't really understand your jar plugin configuration. Can you try a more simple : <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <excludes> <exclude>**/*.xsd</exclude> </excludes> </configuration> </plugin> -- Olivier [1] http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html 2008/1/12, supareno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks Olivier (and Jochen and Dennis), > > it is now building without any error but the xsd files is always here > i'm gonna try with Ant task to if it is working ! > > regards > > Hi, > > Can you try with : > > <excludes> > > <exclude>**/*.xsd</exclude> > > </excludes> > > > > -- > > Olivier > > > > 2008/1/12, supareno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > >> Hello guys > >> > >> i read the previous threads about exclusion with interest > >> because i am always confronted with the "excludes" problem > >> > >> i followed all the steps: > >> changed my settings.xml to enable snapshot plugin repositories... > >> (http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-plugin-snapshot-repositories.html) > >> everything is working except the "excludes" tag > >> > >> my pom.xml looks like this: > >> > >> ... > >> <plugin> > >> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > >> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> > >> <version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version> > >> <executions> > >> <execution> > >> <goals> > >> <goal>jar</goal> > >> </goals> > >> <configuration> > >> <excludes>**/*.xsd</excludes> > >> > >> <schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/xml</schemaDirectory> > >> </configuration> > >> </execution> > >> </executions> > >> </plugin> > >> ... > >> > >> and when i run maven with the following command: > >> mvn -Papache package > >> i've got this exception! > >> > >> ... > >> [INFO] > >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >> [ERROR] BUILD ERROR > >> [INFO] > >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >> [INFO] Failed to configure plugin parameters for: > >> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.2-SNAPSHOT > >> > >> (found static expression: '**/*.xsd' which may act as a default value). > >> > >> > >> Cause: Cannot assign configuration entry 'excludes' to 'class > >> [Ljava.lang.String;' from '**/*.xsd', which is of type class > >> java.lang.String > >> [INFO] > >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >> [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch > >> ... > >> > >> do i forget something during my builds?? > >> > >> regards > >> supareno > >> > >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- > >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> > >> > >> > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
