| # How to Include or Exclude Content from a JAR Artifact |
| |
| Add `<includes>`/`<include>` or `<excludes>`/`<exclude>` in your `pom.xml`. These elements specify the fileset patterns to include or exclude. |
| |
| ```unknown |
| <project> |
| ... |
| <build> |
| <plugins> |
| ... |
| <plugin> |
| <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> |
| <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> |
| <version>${project.version}</version> |
| <configuration> |
| <includes> |
| <include>**/service/*</include> |
| </includes> |
| </configuration> |
| </plugin> |
| ... |
| </plugins> |
| </build> |
| ... |
| </project> |
| ``` |
| |
| The patterns must be relative to the path for the plugin's `classesDirectory` parameter. |
