Description Alex CLA 2003-01-18 19:11:38 EST 
Scenario: project is used as a source folder. Project basedir is MyProject. 
Class Foo.java in package com.mycompany.config resides under 
MyProject/com/mycompany/config/Foo.java. There is also a config directory that 
hangs off MyProject with the XML deployment descriptor: MyProject/config/web.xml
I want to exclude all resources under MyProject/config from being copied into 
the output folder so I create 'config/**' exclusion filter for my source folder.
The filter excludes MyProject/config/web.xml but it also excludes 
MyProject/com/mycompany/config/Foo.java and the latter should not be excluded 
because the regular expression MyProject/config/** should not match 
MyProject/com/mycompany/config/Foo.java.
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-01-20 08:51:23 EST 
Good find. Indeed we implicitly consider 'config/**' as '**/config/**'.
As a workaround, you could specify the exclusion filter '/config/**' (or 
just '/config/') instead.
