By default certain metadata files are excluded which means they will not be copied into the package. If you need them for a particular reason you can do that by setting this parameter to false. This means all files matching the following Ant patterns won't be copied by default.

• Misc: **/*~, **/#*#, **/.#*, **/%*%, **/._*
• CVS: **/CVS, **/CVS/**, **/.cvsignore
• SVN: **/.svn, **/.svn/**
• GNU: **/.arch-ids, **/.arch-ids/**
• Bazaar: **/.bzr, **/.bzr/**
• SurroundSCM: **/.MySCMServerInfo
• Mac: **/.DS_Store
• Serena Dimension: **/.metadata, **/.metadata/**
• Mercurial: **/.hg, **/.hg/**
• GIT: **/.git, **/.git/**
• Bitkeeper: **/BitKeeper, **/BitKeeper/**, **/ChangeSet, **/ChangeSet/**
• Darcs: **/_darcs, **/_darcs/**, **/.darcsrepo, **/.darcsrepo/****/-darcs-backup*, **/.darcs-temp-mail

Deprecated.
No reason given

The directory containing the content to be packaged up into the content package. This property is deprecated; use jcrRootSourceDirectory instead.

If given validates files built for the given classifier. This modifies the workDirectory and appends the suffix -<classifier> to it.

The file where to write a report of all found validation violations (warnings and errors) in CSV format as defined in RFC 4180. The generated file is using UTF-8 character encoding. No CSV report is written if this parameter is not set (default).

Defines the list of dependencies. A dependency is declared as a <dependency> element of a list style <dependencies> element:

<dependency>
    <group>theGroup</group>
    <name>theName</name>
    <version>1.5</version>
</dependency>

The dependency can also reference a maven project dependency, this is preferred as it yields to more robust builds.

<dependency>
    <groupId>theGroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>theName</artifactId>
</dependency>

The versionRange may be indicated as a single version, in which case the version range has no upper bound and defines the minimal version accepted. Otherwise, the version range defines a lower and upper bound of accepted versions, where the bounds are either included using parentheses () or excluded using brackets []

The file name patterns to exclude in addition to the ones listed in org.codehaus.plexus.util.AbstractScanner.DEFAULTEXCLUDES. The format of each pattern is described in org.codehaus.plexus.util.DirectoryScanner. The comparison is against the path relative to the according filter root. Since this is hardly predictable it is recommended to use only filename/directory name patterns here but not take into account file system hierarchies!

Each value is either a regex pattern if enclosed within %regex[ and ], otherwise an Ant pattern.

Deprecated.
Use validatorsSettings with the following values instead

  <jackrabbit-dependencies>
      <defaultSeverity>debug</defaultSeverity>
  </jackrabbit-dependencies>

Controls if errors during dependency validation should fail the build.

If set to true will lead to all validation errors or warnings failing the build, otherwise only validation errors lead to a build failure

The directory that contains the jcr_root of the content. Multiple directories can be specified as a comma separated list, which will act as a search path and cause the plugin to look for the first existing directory.

Mapping of package dependencies given via group and name to Maven coordinates for enhanced validation. Each entry must have the format <group>:<name>=<groupId>:<artifactId>[:<extension>[:<classifier>]]. The extension is always implicitly assumed to be zip (no matter what is given). The version always determined from the package dependency and must not be given. To disable lookup (e.g. because referenced artifact is not available in a Maven repository) use <group>:<name>=ignore. This will also prevent the WARNING which would be otherwise be emitted.

The directory that contains the META-INF/vault. Multiple directories can be specified as a comma separated list, which will act as a search path and cause the plugin to look for the first existing directory.

This directory is added as fileset to the package archiver before the the workDirectory. This means that files specified in this directory have precedence over the one present in the workDirectory. For example, if this directory contains a properties.xml it will not be overwritten by the generated one. A special case is the filter.xml which will be merged with inline filters if present.

Defines the packages that define the repository structure. They are sharing the same format as the elements used in dependencies.

The repoinit feature of Sling can define initial content that will be available in the repository before the first package is installed. Packages that depend on those nodes have no way to reference a regular dependency package that provides these nodes. A "real" package that would creates those nodes cannot be installed in the repository, because it would void the repoinit structure. On the other hand FileVault would complain, if the package was listed as dependency but not installed in the repository. Therefore these repository-structure packages serve as build-time only dependency that help satisfy the structural dependencies, but are not added as real (i.e. run-time) dependencies to the package. Repository-structure packages are only evaluated for their contained filter rules' root attributes. Currently these packages are only used to define the validRoots of the validator jackrabbit-filter.

Skips validation.

All validator settings in a map. The keys are the validator ids (optionally suffixed by __ and some arbitrary string). Each key must only appear once. Use the suffix if you have validator settings for the same id with different restrictions. The values are a complex object of type org.apache.jackrabbit.filevault.maven.packaging.ValidatorSettings. An example configuration looks like

 <jackrabbit-filter>
     <options>
         <severityForUncoveredAncestorNodes>error</severityForUncoveredAncestorNodes>
     </options>
 </jackrabbit-filter>

Each validator settings consists of the fields isDisabled, defaultSeverity and options. In addition the settings may be restricted to certain packages only with the help of field packageRestriction.

 <jackrabbit-filter__restricted1>
     <options>
         <severityForUncoveredAncestorNodes>warning</severityForUncoveredAncestorNodes>
     </options>
     <packageRestriction>
         <group>somegroup</group> <!-- optional, if set the enclosing settings apply only to packages with the given group -->
         <name>somename</name> <!-- optional, if set the enclosing settings apply only to packages with the given name -->
         <subPackageOnly>true</subPackageOnly> <!-- if set to true, the enclosing settings apply only to subpackages otherwise to all kinds of packages -->
     <packageRestriction>
 </jackrabbit-filter__restricted1>

As potentially multiple map entries may affect the same validator id (due to different suffixes) the settings for a single validator id are merged in the order from more specific to more generic settings:

1. settings for a specific package group and a specific package name
2. settings for any package group and a specific package name
3. settings for a specific package group and any package name
4. settings without restrictions

Merging will only overwrite non-existing fields, i.e. same-named options from more specific settings will overwrite those from more generic ones (for the same validator id).

The directory containing the metadata to be packaged up into the content package. Basically containing all files/folders being generated by goal generate-metadata.
