**[Robert Scholte](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rfscholte)** commented One of both methods in https://github.com/apache/maven-javadoc-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugins/javadoc/JavadocUtil.java#L334-L436 is responsible. The seconds contains a comment about the changed behavior. What I hoped to make clear is that the value of excludePackage is **not** a regular expression, it is closer to an Ant-pattern. The dots (both old and new) are package separators, but it was optional in the old pattern. the value between the dots matches exactly with a folder name. It looks like there are only integration tests, but this deserves a unittests too. I don't mind adjusting the evaluation, as long as it makes sense and that you can control exclusion of any package. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
