Using <fileSets> with maven assemblies

Question

I am trying to add specific directories from maven modules to my assembly. I think this is a way to get back to this.

I would appreciate a clear and concise way of using to get the necessary directories from maven modules that simply contain a directory with some necessary resources.

Please thanks.

If you want to include whole modules, use modulesSets, but if you want to choose which files to add, you can use fileSets in the build configuration file from a top-level project, for example:

  <fileSets>
     <fileSet>
        <directory>${basedir}/myModule/src/main/resources</directory>   
        <includes>
           <include>*.txt</include>
        </includes>
     </fileSet>
  </fileSets>
