RE: Assembly plugin bug?

[Randall Fidler]

Jo,

        Wow, that explanation was insightful.  Have you had an luck with
unpacking excludes?  I.e. if I want to jar together a bunch of other
"unpacked" jars and exclude any *.txt (for example) files.

I've tried an assembly descriptor that looks like:

    <dependencySet>
      <outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
      <outputFileNameMapping></outputFileNameMapping>
                <unpack>true</unpack>
                <unpackOptions>
                        <excludes>
                                <exclude>**/*.txt</exclude>
                                <exclude>/*.txt</exclude>
                                <exclude>*.txt</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                </unpackOptions>
    </dependencySet>

But it just refuses to "exclude" the txt files in the dependency jars and
then end up in my final executable jar.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Randall

I'm aware of so if somebody did answer this already, my apologies.

Hi Tommy,

That's no bug.. The assembly plugin filters resources on a per-file basis,
it doesn't apply filtering on fileSets.

So, define a file set for all files that don't need filtering and add
excludes for files that you want to filter..
Then, define <file> elements for the files that you wan to filter and set
<filtered> to true on them..

Here's a snippet:

<assembly>
  <id>blabla</id>
  <formats>
    <format>zip</format>
  </formats>
  <fileSets>
    <fileSet>
      <directory>${basedir}</directory>
      <includes>*.sh</includes>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>install.sh</exclude>
      </excludes>
    </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
  <files>
    <file>
      <source>install.sh</source>
      <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
      <filtered>true</filtered>
    </file>
  </files>
</assembly>



Cheers
Jo
