Hi, I had the same problem and I solved it by configuring the maven-resources-plugin to copy the resources into the target/assembly directory.
Example: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>default-resources</id> <phase>prepare-package</phase> <goals> <goal>copy-resources</goal> </goals> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/assembly</outputDirectory> <resources> <resource> <directory>${basedir}/src/main/filtered-resources</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> <includes> <include>**/*</include> </includes> </resource> </resources> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Regards Jochen sreeraaman wrote > Is there a provision in the karaf-maven-plugin to achieve this something > similar to the assembly descriptor where under > fileSets/fileSet/excludes/exclude where we can specify the files to > exclude? -- View this message in context: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-Custom-Distribution-with-customizations-to-etc-xxx-cfg-files-tp4033048p4033498.html Sent from the Karaf - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
