Disable resource filtering for maven-remote-resources-plugin

Question

I am trying to use the maven-remote-resources-plugin to share a number of resources across modules in a multi module maven project. Unfortunately the shared binary resources are being corrupted during bundlling, presumably by filtering.

I am confident the corruption is happening at this stage as extracting the shared-resources jar from my local repository contains broken binary files.

Is there any to switch off filtering for maven-remote-resources-plugin?

At the moment the pom in my shared resources module looks like

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
       <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
       <executions>
         <execution>
           <goals>
             <goal>bundle</goal>
           </goals>
         </execution>
       </executions>
       <configuration>
         <includes>
           <include>**/*</include>
         </includes>
       </configuration>
     </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

It sounds like the resources are being corrupted during bundling. Since the resource project is just a jar it executes the resources plugin as part of the default lifecycle. Try adding this to the resource project's POM.

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>default-resources</id>
        <configuration>
          <nonFilteredFileExtensions>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>exe</nonFilteredFileExtension>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>dontFilterMeEither</nonFilteredFileExtension>
          </nonFilteredFileExtensions>
          [...]
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

The docs describe which binary files are left unfiltered by default; the config above adds extensions to the list.
