[m2e-users] BuildContext.newScanner(...) with FileSet

[Konrad Windszus <konrad_w@xxxxxx>]

The recommended documented way of dealing with Files inside your Mojo is using a FileSet http://maven.apache.org/shared/file-management/examples/mojo.html and https://maven.apache.org/shared/file-management/fileset.html)

Unfortunately the BuildContext.newScanner does not directly take a FileSet as parameter. Is there any specific reason, why such a method was not added in the first place?

What is your recommended way of parameterise some File parsing capabilities in your Mojo. Do you recommend using FileSets or explicit include/exclude and rootFolder parameters?

Thanks for your input

Konrad
