Description

NOTE: Currently there is no good way to support strict filtering of fileSets. This feature should be restricted to DependencySets.

I'll clone this issue to express the interest in re-adding this as a new feature with support from the plexus-utils DirectoryScanner, which much support strict filtering first.

---------

I'm trying to turn on useStrictFiltering in a fileSet in an assembly
descriptor, but maven doesn't fail when the file does not exist. Here
is an example of what the assembly descriptor looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><assembly>
<formats>
<format>tar.gz</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<useStrictFiltering>true</useStrictFiltering>
<directory>src/main</directory>
<includes>
<include>nonexistant.txt*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>

Running "mvn package" happily produces a tarball with no indication that anything is wrong.
