**[Fabrice Bellingard](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=fabemn)** commented Hi Edwin, I'm getting confused for it seems that we don't understand each other: the actual problem is that the final War archive has **no** JARs in its WEB-INF/lib folder, which is definitely not correct because a WAR must contain the libs it depends on (if not, the web application can't be run, right?). My use case is the following: 1- I check out a project from CVS: this project has JARs in its WEB-INF/lib folder because developers put them in the SCM. But some of those JARs may be unused (even if not removed from CVS). Only the POM can tell which JARs the project really depends on. 2- I want to build the WAR with "m2 package". In the final WAR archive, I don't want to have the unused JARs, but only the ones referenced in the POM. - With m1, when I build my project, the "war.src.excludes" property excludes the JARs that where checked out from CVS, and does not exclude the JARs that are copied from the local repo to be included in the War. And that's exactly what I expect this property to do! - But in m2, because #getExcludes is used in #performPackaging, the JARs previously copied from the local repo to be put in the WAR are also excluded from the War! Which I don't want, of course (a WAR archive needs its libs to be able to work properly!). So 'warSourceExcludes' should normally be used only in #copyResources (because it is meant to exclude files from the WAR **source**), but not in #performPackaging (because at that stage, the MOJO has copied from local repo the JARs corresponding to the dependencies defined in the POM, and I don't want the MOJO to exclude such files which are not **sources**). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
