Assembly Excludes

[Randall Fidler]

Hello,

 

            I'm trying to filter out some dependencies in an assembly
and it works from some but not others.  Here's the block I'm
referencing:

 

...

            <dependencySets>

                        <dependencySet>

 
<outputFileNameMapping>${artifactId}.${extension}</outputFileNameMapping
>

            <unpack>false</unpack>

                                    <scope>provided</scope>

            <outputDirectory>/libs</outputDirectory>

                                    <excludes>

                                                <!-- Exclude jars
provided by container -->

 
<exclude>javax.jms:jms</exclude>

 
<exclude>xerces:xercesImpl</exclude>

 
<!--<exclude>jboss:jbossall-client</exclude>-->

 
<exclude>jboss:jboss-system</exclude>

                                    </excludes>

 
<useStrictFiltering>true</useStrictFiltering>

        </dependencySet>

    </dependencySets>

</assembly>

 

If I uncomment that line trying to exclude jbossall-client the build
fails due to the useStrictFiltering (which is fine).  I have double and
triple checked the dependency group id and artifact id and it's correct
but for whatever reason, if I uncomment the line the exclude doesn't
trigger and if I comment the line out, I get the jar in the /libs
directory.  So the problem is that for whatever reason it just will not
exclude that jbossall-client dependency, which as far as I can tell has
the correct group/artifact id.  Is there any way to tell what the
assembly plugin is dealing with?  I.e. "I'm including {group
id}.{artifact id}"     That way I'd be able to tell what it 'thinks' the
meta-data for jbossall-client dependency is and exclude it.

 

NOTE: The other excludes work fine, no problem.

 

Thanks!
