Allow File/Directory Patterns for the checkModificationExcludes Option
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-645
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-645
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: branch, prepare, scm
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: all
Reporter: Stefan Ferstl
Priority: Minor
Attachments: modification-excludes.patch
The {{checkModificationExcludes}} option does currently only allow the
definition single files to be excluded from the SCM modification check. If this
option is defined, all files anywhere in the maven project structure with the
specified name will be excluded from the check. It is currently not possible to
exclude files only within a specific directory or to exclude classes of files,
i.e. all files matching a specific file name pattern.
If the {{checkModificationExcludes}} option allowed the definition of file and
directory patterns, these things would be possible.
*Example 1*: I'd like to exclude a test resource
{{src/test/resources/foo.properties}} from the modification check but the real
foo.properties in {{src/main/resources}} should still be checked.
{code:xml}
<checkModificationExcludes>
<checkModificationExclude>src/test/resources/foo.properties</checkModificationExclude>
</checkModificationExcludes>
{code}
*Example 2*: I'd like to exclude all properties files with the prefix {{bar}}
from the modification check:
{code:xml}
<checkModificationExcludes>
<checkModificationExclude>**/bar*.properties</checkModificationExclude>
</checkModificationExcludes>
{code}
The attached patch modifies the {{ScmCheckModificationsPhase}} to use the
{{DirectoryScanner}} from plexus-utils instead of doing a strict file name
comparison. The patch does not provide more unit tests for this feature but it
adjusts the existing tests to run without any failures.
