Q:

Is filtering the unpacked dependency actually supported in 2.5.2

I'm trying to filter an unpacked dependency like this:
    <dependencySet>
        <outputDirectory>/opt/foo</outputDirectory>
        <includes>
            <include>${project.groupId}:common:*:tomcat</include>
        </includes>
        <unpack>true</unpack>
        <unpackOptions>
            <filtered>true</filtered>
        </unpackOptions>
    </dependencySet>

The files are copied all-right, but the filtering is not applied (tried both @ and ${*} style).
This was broken before in several versions, so my question is -- does it work in 2.5.2?
I tried to switch to 2.5.1 but it has another bug that makes the assembly fail.
This blog claims it's not supported and provides a workaround.

A:

It turns out filtering is supported.
Debugging the assembly plugin revealed I was just being stupid and made a typo in the placholder.
