I want to exclude a folder from being added to the .war-file based on the profile set.
I have the following configuration:
<profile>
<id>tomcat</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
<property>
<name>env</name>
<value>tomcat</value>
</property>
</activation>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>docs/*</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<finalName>somename</finalName>
</build>
<properties>
<webXmlPath>${basedir}/src/main/config/tomcat</webXmlPath>
<profileDir>tomcat</profileDir>
</properties>
</profile>
Plugin-configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<webXml>${webXmlPath}/web.xml</webXml>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/js/*</exclude>
<exclude>**/css/*</exclude>
<exclude>**/fonts/*</exclude>
<exclude>**/web.xml</exclude>
<exclude>**/config/*</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</webResources>

</plugin>
The docs-folder should be filtered, but it is present in the built-war file. I also tried
<warSourceExcludes>docs/**</warSourceExcludes>
but this did not work either.
This is the debug output:

Profile is selected correctly, checked via mvn help:active-profiles

The following profiles are active:
- tomcat (source: <myproject>:0.4)
Also i am a bit confused about the - property, did not find a good explanation for it, the only thing close to it was Filtering in Maven War Plugin, but it didn't explain when and why to use .
