Exclude property files from resources

How to exclude files from src/main/resources, for ex : I have a folder named "map" in there, which I wanna keep and I want to delete everything from war(or not to package it inside at firstplace).

Or alternative but same result, exclude all *.resources files from src/main/resources and put in war everything else?

Thank you

You may configure your resources like this:

<build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
           <directory>src/main/resources/map</directory>
        </resource>
    </resources>
</build>

or this:

<build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
           <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
           <excludes>
               <exclude>**/*.log</exclude>
           </excludes>
        </resource>
    </resources>
</build>

If you don't want some resources to be copied into target/classes, you can define includes or excludes in the resource element as documented in Including and excluding files and directories. For example:

<build>
  <resources>
    <resource>
      <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>**/map/*.*</exclude>
      </excludes>
    </resource>
  </resources>
</build>

If you want resources to be still copied into target/classes but for some reason don't want them to be packaged in the final artifact, then configure the maven war plugin to use packagingExcludes.

The official documentation for the maven resources plugin describes how you can perform includes and excludes.
