Excluding files from JAR

[amit kumar]

HI,
Just like WAR can I as well exclude some files from JAR builds as well?

I have used this, but not working.

</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<excludes>**/*.xsd</excludes>
<schemaDirectory>src/schema/xsd</schemaDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Am I missing something?

Hi,
No you don't miss something here.
It's a know issue [1] and it's fixed in trunk.
You can try last snapshot to test the fix.

Nothing to patch locally.
The snapshot with this patch is available in snapshot plugin repositories.
In order to test this have a look here [1] (first section "How to
include the plugin snapshot repositories as part of your build").

If you have any issues let us know,

Thanks,

Hello guys

i read the previous threads about exclusion with interest
because i am always confronted with the "excludes" problem

i followed all the steps:
changed my settings.xml to enable snapshot plugin repositories...
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-plugin-snapshot-repositories.html)
everything is working except the "excludes" tag

my pom.xml looks like this:

...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<excludes>**/*.xsd</excludes>

<schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/xml</schemaDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...

and when i run maven with the following command:
mvn -Papache package
i've got this exception!

...
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

do i forget something during my builds??

Hi,
Can you try with :

The excludes field in the jar plugin is to exclude content from
${project.build.outputDirectory} not to exclude resources.
In order to exclude resources have a look here [1].

I don't really understand your jar plugin configuration.
Can you try a more simple :

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.xsd</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Configuration problem on your side, use

<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.xsd</exclude>
</excludes>

[Dennis Lundberg]

The excludes configuration is a set of things to exclude. It needs to be
configured like this:

<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.xsd</exclude>
</excludes>

Hi Simon,
Being totally unaware of ANT although I tried but of no use.
I used this with google's help

<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<target name="jar-file" depends="compile-src,copy">
<jar destfile="${root}/target/file.jar" basedir="${build}"
excludes="*.xsd,*.xsb" />
</target>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>


Where am I lacking?

I don't think Simon is telling you to use Ant's jar command -- instead
he is suggesting that you use Ant's <delete> task to physically remove
the unwanted files out of /target/ before allowing Maven to do its own
packaging step. (Right, Simon?) You would probably want to bind this
to prepare-package as you have done below.

Here's the Ant Delete task page:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/delete.html

Also, you should be using -X to get full debugging information. And if
it "doesn't work" this time, please reply back with a lot more details
about what exactly happened when you tried this eg what errors were
reported, what seemed to happen, etc. Simply saying "it didn't work"
tells us absolutely nothing about what actually happened vs what you
were expecting etc.

Hi,
Sorry for incomplete information about the problem. I used <delete> task ,
and it is working now.
Did not try the snapshot jar plugin yet.

Not until the next version of the jar plugin is released.

For the moment, the usual workaround is to use the antrun plugin to remove the unwanted files before the jar is created.
