Yes I can, but specifying 30 jars explicity by name for me is the same as copy/paste 30 dependencies with <scope>provided</scope>. I'd like to specify a mask (regexp) for those jars which should be excluded. If WEB-INF/lib/foo*.jar work pretty well, why ^WEB-INF/lib/foo*.jar doesn't ? For me the first example (foo*) is also some kind of regexp. Do you resolve only * or some other regexp signs? > That being said, using a regexp is a good idea, you can file an improvement > in Jira for this. Ok, I'll propose that improvement. -- Cheers, Matthew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
