--------------------------------------
Summary: Documentation: <exclude> option
Key: MCOMPILER-521
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-521
Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Environment: MacOS 12.2
Apache Maven 3.8.6 (84538c9988a25aec085021c365c560670ad80f63)
Reporter: Kevin A Shaw
I am working with a multi-module project and need to exclude some
source-directories from compilation for only one module (StackOverFlow
[posting](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75120440/excluding-source-directory-in-maven)).
I have seen
[examples](https://coderanch.com/t/745331/java/Excluding-java-files-Maven-build)
suggesting that the `maven-compiler-plugin` can exclude directories with the
following code.
I have searched the Apache Maven documentation
([link]([https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/index.html))]
but this is never mentioned. Is this actually a supported option? If so,
could a reference to it be added to the documentation. It would make searching
on it so much easier.
```
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.0</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<!-- OK -->
<exclude>*/com/company/conflict-dir/*</exclude>
</excludes>
```
