Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-12821:
-------------------------------------

Rob, in maven-war-plugin, [regexp%] patterns are handled via plexus-utils (which basically contains forked classes of ant).
Classes of interest are : 
* https://github.com/sonatype/plexus-utils/blob/master/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/AbstractScanner.java
* https://github.com/sonatype/plexus-utils/blob/master/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/MatchPattern.java to a lesser degree

In order to support regex patterns, we should replace everything ant-derived by [plexus-utils-3.0.10.jar|http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.codehaus.plexus%7Cplexus-utils%7C3.0.10%7Cjar]. Not forking the classes would be ideal.
Since plexus-utils evolved significantly from ant, it *may* be more open to customization ... or not.

> Using maven-war-plugin, you can use packageIncludes/packageExcludes with a regex (e.g. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/including-excluding-files-from-war.html).
> With m2e-wtp, the property is correctly added to "org.eclipse.wst.common.component" setting file but JBoss AS tools only support 2 special characters ('*', '?').
