excluding files from jar doesn't work completely well -----------------------------------------------------
Key: MJAR-101 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-101 Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2 Environment: Windows XP, JDK 1.5 Reporter: Patrizio Munzi Attachments: mavenjarplugin.bug.tar.gz Maven Jar Plugin exclude feature seems not to work completely well. It actually excludes the specified files from the built jar but creates however the folders path into it. Here's my configuration: <excludes> <exclude>**/*.properties</exclude> <exclude>**/*.xml</exclude> <exclude>**/*.xsd</exclude> </excludes> Although all the specified files are actually excluded from the deployed jar, the directory paths of the excluded files are still created into the jar. I mean, if I have the following files under the resources directory: resources/log4j.properties resources/xml/file.xml resources/xml/schema/schema.xsd These files won't be included in the built jar, but I'll still have the following path into it: /xml/schema/ Find attached a simple project test case to reproduce the problem. - Extract it - Change to the main dir - run: mvn compile - run: mvn jar:jar -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
