Dawid, Thanks for the report; this should be investigated further.
Do you want to file an issue against javadoc, or would you like us to do so? -- Jon On 4/30/20 1:59 AM, Dawid Weiss wrote:
Hello, Javadoc for "exclude" states that [1]: "Unconditionally, excludes the specified packages and their subpackages from the list formed by -subpackages." I find this statement untrue. Given a package structure "a.b.c" and javadoc options: -sourcepath src -subpackages a -exclude a.b the resulting javadoc is created for classes in 'a' and 'a.b.c': https://github.com/dweiss/javadoc-exclude/blob/master/javadoc/element-list Full repro is on github [2]. Am I missing something? Is the spec wrong or is this a bug? Dawid [1] https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/12/tools/javadoc.html [2] https://github.com/dweiss/javadoc-exclude
