Hi All,

I have following configuration in war plugin:
(parent pom)
<plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.1</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <excludes>
                            <exclude>.gitignore</exclude>
                            <exclude>**/.gitignore</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
(child pom)
<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/*.jar</packagingExcludes>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>


This is the error I am getting:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1:war (default-war)
  on project com.ptc.insight.runtime.theme:
  Unable to parse configuration of mojo
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1-beta-1:war:
  When configuring a basic element the configuration cannot contain
any child elements.
  Configuration element 'warSourceExcludes'. -> [Help 1]

I debugged through the maven-core and it looks like type converter is
picked up based on the target type of the property.

In maven-war-plugin "warSourceExcludes" is a String with an alias to "excludes"

    /**
     * The comma separated list of tokens to exclude when copying the content
     * of the warSourceDirectory.
     *
     * @parameter alias="excludes"
     */
    private String warSourceExcludes;

The question that I have is that a oversight on the part of maven core
or a issue with plugins that alias simple properties with complex
properties?

Regards,

Dmitry
