This was eagerly awaited. Thanks for the good work! However, I've found one minor difference that caused a change in my assembly descriptors when upgrading from 2.2-beta-1 to 2.2-beta-3. So far, it was possible to exclude an entire directory from a fileset just by listening its name, as in the following exclude ('bin' folder):
<fileSet> <directory>assemblies/minimal/src/main/release</directory> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <excludes> <exclude>bin</exclude> </excludes> </fileSet> With the upgrade to beta-3 this does not to work any longer because the target assembly contained the bin folder (and its content). I had to replace the exclude tag as follows: <fileSet> <directory>assemblies/minimal/src/main/release</directory> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <excludes> <exclude>bin/**</exclude> </excludes> </fileSet> I cross checked the maven-assembly-plugin Web site for documentation of the pattern format without success. I guess, somewhere, it is documented, but I couldn't find it (as fast as I would like to). It would be good to update the documentation and add links to the place where the pattern format is documented.
