maven-war-plugin packagingExcludes not working

[Jean Pierre URKENS]

Dear all,



I am trying to exclude the resources under ‘src/main/resource/db/*’ from
being included in my war file any possible configuration of the
‘packagingExcludes ‘ config parameter seems to be ignored:



My plugin-configuration as reported during the run with debug option is:

[DEBUG]

  </webResources>

  <webappDirectory
default-value="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}"/>

  <workDirectory default-value="${project.build.directory}/war/work"/>

</configuration>



I also tried specifying:

               *<packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/classes/db</packagingExcludes>*

*<packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/classes/db**/***</packagingExcludes>*



But the generated war always includes the content of this folder. So how do
I prevent a resource folder to be included in the generated war file.
