include/exclude patterns for resources does not work

[mat127]

I have pom.xml defining resources as follows:

    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
            <includes>
                <include>code/**</include>
                <include>html/**</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <filtering>false</filtering>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>profile/**</exclude>
                <exclude>code/**</exclude>
                <exclude>html/**</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </resource>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources/profile/${profile.id}</directory>
            <filtering>false</filtering>
        </resource>
    </resources>

Such definition I use because of various resources to be filtered or not and for special resources under src/main/resource/profile/${profile.id} that has to be included only in case that particular profile is active.

Then I use following configuration of the yuicompressor-maven-plugin for compressing just the .js files:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.2</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>process-resources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>compress</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <jswarn>false</jswarn>
                <failOnWarning>false</failOnWarning>
                <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
                <nomunge>false</nomunge>
                <nosuffix>true</nosuffix>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>profile/**</exclude>
                    <exclude>**/*.css</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

As you see, I have to explicitly exclude the profile/** because without this exclusion the whole tree under src/main/resources/profile is included in the resulting archive. And this is something that I do not want at all.

Moreover all the .js files under src/main/resources are processed exactly 2 times by the yui compressor. I expect this is due to the fact that directory src/main/resources is specified twice in the resources configuration. Some of the are processed 3 times as they reside under the src/main/resources/profile

Currently the pom.xml is working for me, but the repetitive processing of some files is quite unpleasant. Is there some reason why the include/exclude patterns fro resources definition are ignored?

No there's no special reason, it's just not implemented to respect these :)

I have the same problem - files are processed multiple times. I need to exclude *.min.js / *.min.css from minification. Solution is:

<resources>

				<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
			</resource>
		</resources>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>

						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<target>
								<delete>
									<fileset dir="${project.build.outputDirectory}/WEB-INF">
										<include name="**/*.js" />
										<exclude name="**/*.min.js" />
										<include name="**/*.css" />
										<exclude name="**/*.min.css" />
									</fileset>
								</delete>
