Description

In a Maven archetype, I'm using the resource plugin to copy some files like a .gitignore template. But this file is not copied when I generate a project from this artefact.

Here is my config for the resource plugin in my artefact:

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>3.1.0</version>
 <configuration>
  <!-- Required so that .gitignore gets included in archetypes -->
  <!-- See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-190 -->
  <addDefaultExcludes>false</addDefaultExcludes>
 </configuration>
</plugin>
