What patterns did you specify? Note that the pattern is a regular
expression and not a shell wildcard expression.

The help text currently is: 'Comma separated list of regular expressions
<http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html>
that specifies the files to exclude from the report (based on their
absolute filename).'
I'm not a native speaker, so I would appreciate any improvements to this
help text to make it clear for the user :-)

What I wanted to say with that help text is:
If the warning is in a file with absolute path "/path/to/file/file.txt"
then e.g., the patterns ".*/to/.*" or ".*/file\.txt" will match that
file. All files that match will be either included or excluded in the
reports (depending in which field you enter the value).
