actTransitively wildcard patterns can fail on pattern-based filters
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSHARED-162
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHARED-162
Project: Maven Shared Components
Issue Type: Bug
Components: maven-common-artifact-filters
Affects Versions: maven-common-artifact-filters 1.2
Reporter: John Casey
When a pattern is matched against the dependency trail of an artifact in the
PatternInclusionArtifactFilter and PatternExclusionArtifactFilter, the whole
trail is considered at once (using a comma-separated list of items in the
trail). This means that only particular wildcard patterns will ever match, and
it should be virtually impossible to use an exact match.
A far better approach would be to iterate through the dependency trail and try
to match the patterns against each dep-trail item separately, to avoid problems
of detecting the boundaries between items during the pattern-matching process.
