Description

Note: I posted a message on Maven users list (http://www.mail-archive.com/users%40maven.apache.org/msg24088.html), but I got no answer so I post this issue, which in turn may or not be a bug... (sorry if it's not)

I experienced a strange behaviour with the 'warSourceExcludes' property. When I grab some Web projects from the CVS of my company, I usually get all the WEB-INF/lib Jars that the developers put in the CVS:

• With Maven 1, I use the 'maven.war.src.excludes' property to exclude those Jars ('maven.war.src.excludes=*/lib/.*'), and it works well: the Jars packaged in the War are only the ones defined in the pom.
• With m2, I tried to use the 'warSourceExcludes' property, which seemed to me to be the equivalent property. However, when the War is generated, there is no jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder. This works as if the plugin is excluding files after having copied the needed dependencies in the WEB-INF/lib folder (whereas in the Maven 1 version, it was excluding them before).

Looking at the code of the m2 plugin, the value of 'warSourceExcludes' is used in method #getExcludes which is actually called in #performPackaging method. If this property is to work the same way as in m1, its value should be used in #copyResources method, before copying the Jar dependencies in WEB-INF/lib.

What do you guys think of that? Am I right or am I missing something?
