How to exclude some of the folders while creating zip file through maven

maven, maven-assembly-plugin

Solution

Use this `excludes` to match the `dml` folder and its contents. Be sure to use a path relative to `<directory>src/main</directory>`

  <excludes>
            <exclude>dml/**</exclude>
  </excludes>

Problem

``` <assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembl/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd"> <id>bin</id> <baseDirectory>/</baseDirectory> <formats> <format>zip</format> </formats> <fileSets> <fileSet> <directory>src/main</directory> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <excludes> <exclude>src/main/dml</exclude> </excludes> </fileSet> </fileSets> </assembly> ``` This is my assemble.xml. src/main contains several folders. I want to exclude some folders, like src/main/dml, but it is not being excluded.
