**[Robert Scholte](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rfscholte)** commented Having a closer look at the example page, trying to understand the idea behind the exclude expressions:" * com.mycompany.myapp.package1.\* means exclude every subpackage of `com.mycompany.myapp.package1`, but this package itself is included. * com.mycompany.myapp.package2 means exclude every package starting with `com.mycompany.myapp.package2` * \*.util.\* means exclude any package that contains `util` Do you see the difference between the meaning of an expression ending with `.\*` depending if it starts with `\*.`? IMHO this is inconsistent. One thing that came up: is `\*.util` allowed and what does it mean? It should have a different meaning compared to `\*.util.\*`, right? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
