In your case you need to also exclude the target/ directory. However I am not sure if that kind of resource 'abuse' should be done.

Hi, I have parent pom.xml and I have modules there, structure is like this: pom.xml module1/ module2/ module3/ some_dir1/ some_dir2/ README.adoc When I want to release this project, I do it like mvn release:prepare release:perform What it does is that when I look into sources of parent project (pom.xml project), I can see that sources-release.zip contains all directories including some_dir1, some_dir2 and README.adoc I want to exclude these directories and README.adoc from being in resulting parent sources release zip. My initial approach was like this in root pom.xml <build> <resources> <resource> <directory>${project.basedir}</directory> <excludes> <exclude>some_dir1/*</exclude> <exclude>some_dir2/*</exclude> <exclude>README.adoc</exclude> </excludes> </resource> </resources> </build> But that fails. The first module1 said that: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-source-plugin:2.2.1:jar-no-fork (attach-sources) on project module1: Error creating source archive: A zip file cannot include itself -> [Help 1] How do I get rid of these directories in a resulting sources release zip archive?
