**[Benjamin Bentmann](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=bentmann)** commented The project is misconfigured, the resource exclusion `<exclude>target/\*.\*</exclude>` only excludes immediate children of the `target` directory but not say `target/classes/SomeClass.class`. Run "mvn package package ... package" and see the output JAR continuously grow. I strongly suggest to adopt the [Maven Standard Directory Layout](http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html). As a minimun, refactor to project such that the base directory is not the base of the source/resource files. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
