Thanks for your suggestion. I can create a JIRA ticket (or even
attempt to create a patch for the NPE -- the code looks reasonably
straightforward).
However, there still is the discrepancy with the documentation.
Which syntax should I be using to exclude various file patterns from
the resultant WAR?
[1]
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<dependentWarExcludes>**/jdbc.properties,**/hibernate.cfg.xml,**/sql-map-config.xml,**/web.xml,WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/**</dependentWarExcludes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/.git</exclude>
<exclude>**/.gitignore</exclude>
<exclude>**/*.psd</exclude>
<exclude>assets/src-images/**</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
[2]
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<dependentWarExcludes>**/jdbc.properties,**/hibernate.cfg.xml,**/sql-map-config.xml,**/web.xml,WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/**</dependentWarExcludes>
<webResources>
<resource>
<!--<directory>resource2</directory>-->
<excludes>
<exclude>**/.git</exclude>
<exclude>**/.gitignore</exclude>
<exclude>**/*.psd</exclude>
<exclude>assets/src-images/**</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Cheers
