Dennis Lundberg commented on MRESOURCES-264:
--------------------------------------------
Thank you for the example project [~joelroyer].
I have tried it and can verify that maven-resources-plugin in fact does copy
the .gitignore file to target/classes/archetype-resources. So
maven-resources-plugin does what you have told it to do.
After that maven-archetype-plugin takes over and packages your archetype with
the jar goal, using your supplied archetype-metadata.xml file. That plugin
however does NOT include the .gitignore file. I haven't looked at the code, but
I assume that the copying of a fileSet also has some kind of default ignores.
What you need is a way to tell maven-archetype-plugin to not exclude such
files. I'm going to move this issue over to the JIRA project for
maven-archetype.

> Archetype Plugin 3.2.0
> Reporter: Joël Royer

> In a Maven archetype, I'm using the resource plugin to copy some files like a
> .gitignore template. But this file is not copied when I generate a project
> from this artefact.
> Here is my config for the resource plugin in my artefact:
> {code:java}
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>3.1.0</version>
> <configuration>
> <!-- Required so that .gitignore gets included in archetypes -->
> <!-- See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-190 -->

> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> {code}
