Hi, I am currently using maven-assembly-plugin v2.0.4. Instead of the jar-with-dependencies requirement, I have a need for jar-with-some-dependencies requirement. That is, instead of packing all of the 10 dependencies, I would wish to pack 9, leaving out one.
You could do that today by having the dependency specified in the </excludes> tag, but (quite counterintuitively) the child dependencies are not excluded? The situation is made worse if the excluded dependency has 20 children dependencies and maintaining the exclusion list becomes more than a pain! Is this the expected behaviour for exclusion within the assembly plugin or am I missing something? Cheers. Alex
