Hi Folks
* Maven 2.0.8 with Assembly Plugin 2.2-beta-2 and JDK 1.5.0_14 on
Windows *
I have many .jar dependencies and a handfull of .so dependencies. Each
of my .so dependencies has a classifier, e.g. "solaris". I intend my
assembly to put all .jar dependencies into lib/ and all .so dependencies
into nativelib/<classifier>/, e.g. nativelib/solaris/.
The following is the dependency set for outputDirectory=lib/
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>/lib</outputDirectory>
<excludes>
<!--<exclude>*:*:so:solaris</exclude>-->
</excludes>
</dependencySet>
Note that <excludes> is empty since <exclude> is commented out. Note
that <includes> is absent.
As given, all my dependencies are put out into lib/ (including those
with type=so classifier=solaris since the exclusion is commented out).
If I uncomment the <exclude> element then none of my dependencies go to
lib/ when using 2.2-beta-2. With 2.2-beta-1 I get my expected
behaviour; .jars all go only to lib/.
I suspect that the colon-delimited <exclude> format
<groupId>:<artifactId>:<type>:<classifier>
in my case
*:*:so:solaris
which I thought meant
groupId = anything AND artifactId = anything AND type = so AND
classifier = solaris
is actually being interpreted as
groupId = anything OR artifactId = anything OR type = so OR
classifier = solaris
Naturally group = anything will match all artifacts and, since the
expression is OR-based, everything gets excluded.
Now this is just an hypothesis for now. But it's the only theory I can
come up with that would explain not only the above behaviour, but also
the fact that with <include>*:*:so:solaris</include> in a different
dependencySet all of my dependencies go to nativelib/solaris/ when using
2.2-beta-2. Once again, with 2.2-beta-1, only those dependencies with
type=so and classifier=solaris go to nativelib/solaris/.
For completeness, here is my dependencySet for
outputDirectory=nativelib/solaris/
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>/nativelib/solaris</outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*:*:so:solaris</include>
</includes>
</dependencySet>
Clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards, Robin.
