Exclude jar from ant classpath

Question

I\'m trying to make a \"clean maven\" setup on some legacy project that uses ant scripts. I don\'t know much about ant, so my question might seem naive.

I\'m almost done

Answer 1

Try using forward slash instead of back slash, i.e.

<exclude name="*ant/1.7.1/ant-1.7.1.jar"/>

Answer 2

Try this way:-

<exclude name="**/ant/1.7.1/ant-1.7.1.jar"/>
<exclude name="**/ant/1.5/ant-1.5.jar"/>
