PatternExclusionsFilter (Apache Maven Common Artifact Filters 3.2.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.maven.shared.artifact.filter.resolve.PatternExclusionsFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

TransformableFilter
```
public class PatternExclusionsFilter
extends Object
implements TransformableFilter
```
A simple filter to exclude artifacts from a list of patterns. The artifact pattern syntax is of the form:
```
 [groupId]:[artifactId]:[extension]:[version]
 
```
Where each pattern segment is optional and supports full and partial * wildcards. An empty pattern segment is treated as an implicit wildcard. Version can be a range in case a VersionScheme is specified.

For example, org.apache.* would match all artifacts whose group id started with org.apache. , and :::*-SNAPSHOT would match all snapshot artifacts.
Since:

3.0
