I have a web project for which I would like to exclude static content in
my resultant war file.  I have a property set as follows:

maven.war.src.excludes = **/*.gif

 

This works great as I need to exclude .gif files from my war.  I can
also do this

maven.war.src.excludes = **/*.jpg 

 

This also works when I need to exclude JPGs.  Now, according to
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/war/properties.html, I should
be able to specify both on the same property assignment:

 

"Comma or space separated list of Ant path patterns specifying what
files and directories from ${maven.war.src} that should be excluded from
the web application.

 

This tells me that I should be able to do this: (comma-separated)

maven.war.src.excludes = **/*.jpg,**/*.gif

 

or even this: (space-separated)

maven.war.src.excludes = **/*.jpg **/*.gif

 

However, neither of these work!! (ugh!!)   What happens in each chase is
that NO files get excluded, as if the property was never specified to
begin with.  

 

Can anyone tell me if this is a bug, a feature, or if I'm missing
something completely obvious?  All other components of the war are build
perfectly.

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Jeff
