Jeff Smits commented on MJAR-265:
---------------------------------
I would argue that while my comment _explains_ the issue, it does not resolve
it and is no reason to close the issue. The type of this issue is also "new
feature", so I think it would be better to rewrite the description into a
proper feature request to add a configuration option to turn off default
excludes, like the maven-resource-plugin provides. With that as an actionable
description, I would hope that it can be put on a roadmap. But I'm not an
active contributor of this project, so I don't know how the management of
issues works.
[~whitingjr], if you have a similar issue, but for a pattern that is not among
the ones listed by [the maven-resource-plugin
docs|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/copy-resources-mojo.html#addDefaultExcludes],
then that's a separate issue unless those docs are incomplete. If you are
able, it would be useful to find the source code of the SetBase class, to trace
the original code that defines the default excludes, before you create a new
issue.
