**[Niklas Therning](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=niklas)** commented I read the documentation on the war plugin (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/war-mojo.html) and it should be possible to send in a comma separated list of excludes. I looked into the source but couldn't find anything that can make this work, so I think this is bug. The code below depends on the commons StringUtils helper class. protected String[] getExcludes() { List excludeList = new ArrayList( FileUtils.getDefaultExcludesAsList() ); if ( warSourceExcludes != null && !"".equals( warSourceExcludes ) ) { String[] excludes = StringUtils.split(warSourceExcludes, ","); for (int i = 0; i < excludes.length; i++) { String exclude = excludes[i]; excludeList.add( exclude ); } } // if webXML is specified, omit the one in the source directory if ( getWebXml() != null && !"".equals( getWebXml() ) ) { excludeList.add( "**/" + WEB_INF + "/web.xml" ); } return (String[]) excludeList.toArray( EMPTY_STRING_ARRAY ); } I haven't written a testcase or even tested the code, but I want to verify if I've understood the function right. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
