I have a project which configures the maven-jar-plugin to only include certain files in to the final JAR:

```auto
<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
	<configuration>
		<includes>
			<include>**/*.csv</include>
			<include>...</include>
		</includes>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

```

Now, I want to turn that Maven module into a bundle using the maven-bnd-plugin. However, the `jar` goal of the plugin does not seem to support includes/excludes and it also seems to replace the execution of the `maven-jar-plugin` so that the configuration has no effect anymore.

Specifically, I have some `*.class` files that should **not** end up in the bundle - it should be a pure data bundle (actually a fragment).

Is there any way to achieve only including certain patterns of files with the maven-bnd-plugin?

Seems you enabled bnd-maven-plugin to take over packaging, but you don’t have to!!! Just don’t enable the extension mode of the plugin and use the `bnd-process` mojo, then jar-ing will continue to be handle by the maven-jar-plugin.
