For those that may be trying to work out how excludes works I'm
posting to the list.
There is probably a JIRA issue (I haven't looked) that will address
pattern matching of excludes, there are comments in the code to
indicate that this would be a good feature.
To summarize my problem:
I have a module called <project>-build which creates an assembly of
all the other modules so that this can be given to our test team in
one go. The problem I am having is that the assembly is not only
copying the *-bin.zip files but also the *.jar files even though the
dependency is only on the zip file.
My pom has this in it:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>GROUP</groupId>
<artifactId>A</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>bin</classifier>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>GROUP</groupId>
<artifactId>B</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>bin</classifier>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>GROUP</groupId>
<artifactId>C</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>ear</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
To work around this, I am excluding the jars using the assembly below:
<assembly>
<id>bin</id>
<formats>
<format>dir</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<unpack>false</unpack>
<excludes>
<!--
There is little documentation on this format.
It is of the form of DefaultArtifact.getDependencyConflictId()
which is <groupId>:<artifactId>:<type>:<classifier>
or you can use the short form (hard coded into assembly) of
<groupId>:<artifactId>
This is a String equality match not a pattern match.
-->
<exclude>commons-lang:commons-lang</exclude>
<exclude>log4j:log4j</exclude>
<exclude>GROUP:A</exclude>
<exclude>GROUP:B</exclude>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
