Thanks for the reply!
1) When I left the eclipse output directory as target MyEclipse got very
confused and I had a lot of issues, especially switching between eclipse and
maven builds.
2) No, I have not changed the maven output directories. This still goes to
the default target directories. We're keeping the "built by maven" output
(target/classes and target/test-classes) and the "built by eclipse"
(src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes) separate.
3) Yes, I have tried to get the exclude to work for the web resources, but
with no success. All examples are for additional web resource folder, so I
wonder if that's got anything to do with it. (??) Has anyone had any
experience excluding files / directories from src/main/webapp?
Here are some of the things that I have tried, none of which work. :-(
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<configuration>
<!--
<excludes>
<exclude>**/WEB-INF/classes/**</exclude>
</excludes>
-->
<!--
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp/</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/WEB-INF/classes/**</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>
-->
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/
</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Thanks for all your time and help!
