How to set exclude list in command line for maven release plugin?

Question

I try to use option:

checkModificationExcludeList

but I don't know correct syntax:

mvn -U release:prepare checkModificationExcludeList myfile.txt

doesn't work.

Answer 1

Correct syntax for excluding files from local modifications check is,

mvn release:prepare -DcheckModificationExcludeList=one.txt,two.txt

Make sure that you pass the argument using -D

For files in sub directories, I believe you simply need to give the file name and the path can be skipped.
