Filter inclusion of classes maven-war-plugin

Question

Hello!

I wonder if it is possible to filter out files from WEB-INF/classes with maven-war-plugin?

I have the following java package structure:

src/main/java/
package1.client.*
package2.client.*
package2.server.*

When building the project I do not want any .client.* classes in my WEB-INF/classes folder. (It's a GWT project).

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

The following should work:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.0.2</version>
  <configuration>
    <excludes>**/client/*.class</excludes>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
