Description

current exclusion is limited: "Artifacts to ignore, specified as extension or classifier.extension."

• works only for extension and classifier, not other coordinates
• if extension has dots in in (think .tar.gz), it creates confusion with classifier

return of experience: it's not really usable...

using a regexp against "$groupId/$filename", where filename is the file name in the repository, looks simple and powerful
and it will also be useful to store a list of files that were ignored, just to track that ignoring a file may be a simple way to hide problems, then has to be used with care
