Hello Kiran,

I’m assuming you’re using the WarPlugin? The WarPlugin configures the war task to include the content of webAppDir folder (defaults to src/main/webapp/) by calling “from(webappDir)” on the War task. The pattern in your exclude statement must match the content of src/main/webapp you want to exclude not the path to the wepappdir itself.

cheers, René
