Is it not just coincidence that "(?!jar)" excludes all types because there is no type that matches this rather than some special logic involving negation?

Ah, my mistake. Regex does not work for the type attribute. Setting the attribute type="(?!jar)" excludes every artifact type, not just jar types. However, literal strings do work as expected (if anyone was wondering). Setting type="zip" restricts only to zip files. ***CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE and DISCLAIMER*** This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and solely for the use of the person(s) or entity to whom it is intended.
