Disable resource filtering for maven-remote-resources-plugin

I am trying to use the maven-remote-resources-plugin to share a number of resources across modules in a multi module maven project. Unfortunately the shared binary resources are being corrupted during bundlling, presumably by filtering.

I am confident the corruption is happening at this stage as extracting the shared-resources jar from my local repository contains broken binary files.

Is there any to switch off filtering for maven-remote-resources-plugin?

At the moment the pom in my shared resources module looks like

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
       <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
       <executions>
         <execution>
           <goals>
             <goal>bundle</goal>
           </goals>
         </execution>
       </executions>
       <configuration>
         <includes>
           <include>**/*</include>
         </includes>
       </configuration>
     </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

The approach we've taken to solve this is below.
Note I misunderstood user944849's answer so I have not tested it and it may work.

We created the jar in the local repository directly using a resources clause in the shared-resources pom. I think this is using the maven-resources-plugin (?).

Then used the maven-dependency-plugin to unpack it to a temporary directory, and filtered the desired resources within the resources clause of the resource-consumer pom.

shared-resources

<build>
  <resources>
    <resource>
      <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
      <filtering>false</filtering>
      <includes>
        <include>**/*</include>
      </includes>
    </resource>
  </resources>
</build>

resource-consumer

<build>
  <resources>
    <resource>
      <directory>${project.build.directory}/shared-resources</directory>
      <includes>
        <include>theOnlyOneIWant.properties</include>
      </includes>
    </resource>
  </resources>
  [...]
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.5</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>shared-resources</id>
          <goals>
            <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
          </goal>
          <phase>generate-resources</phase>
          <configuration>
            <includeGroupIds>myProjectGroup</includeGroupIds>
            <includeArtifactIds>myProjectSharedResources</includeArtifactIds>
            <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/shared-resources</outputDirectory>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

This may not work for all instances where the maven-remote-resources-plugin could be used, but it is working for us and solved the issue of binary resource corruption.

It sounds like the resources are being corrupted during bundling. Since the resource project is just a jar it executes the resources plugin as part of the default lifecycle. Try adding this to the resource project's POM.

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>default-resources</id>
        <configuration>
          <nonFilteredFileExtensions>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>exe</nonFilteredFileExtension>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>dontFilterMeEither</nonFilteredFileExtension>
          </nonFilteredFileExtensions>
          [...]
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

The docs describe which binary files are left unfiltered by default; the config above adds extensions to the list.

did you try : 

<plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.3</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>process-remote-resources</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>process</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <useDefaultFilterDelimiters>false</useDefaultFilterDelimiters>
              [...]
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
