the important code is this PackageBasedActionConfigBuilder:findActions:

               ClassFinder finder = new ClassFinder(getClassLoader(),
buildUrlSet().getUrls(), true);

                // named packages
                if (actionPackages != null) {
                    for (String packageName : actionPackages) {
                        Test<ClassFinder.ClassInfo> test =
getPackageFinderTest(packageName);
                        classes.addAll(finder.findClasses(test));
                    }
                }

                //package locators
                if (packageLocators != null &&
!disablePackageLocatorsScanning) {
                    for (String packageLocator : packageLocators) {
                        Test<ClassFinder.ClassInfo> test =
getPackageLocatorTest(packageLocator);
                        classes.addAll(finder.findClasses(test));
                    }
                }

the class finder will find classes in all jars that are not excluded
by buildUrlSet(). Then the classes that match the actionPackages
(named packages like "com.my.package") will be queued for processing,
as well as classes whose package matches one of the locators
("action", "actions", etc). If you name your packages using
actionPackages, the plugin will find the classes in them. You said you
had to exclude some jars, what kind of problem did you have? it could
be a bug in the plugin.
