[MASSEMBLY-505] Feature Request: useStrictFiltering option for FileSets

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open

Description

NOTE: This is a clone of MASSEMBLY-488. The original issue will be closed Won't Fix, since the plexus-utils class DirectoryScanner, which is the core of the FileSet functionality, doesn't support strict include/exclude filtering.

This issue is a feature request to have that added.

---------

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.
