I would have expected that too, however: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.17</version> <executions> <execution> <id>validate</id> <phase>validate</phase> <goals> <goal>check</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <configLocation>config/checkstyle.xml</configLocation> <excludes>**/.,*.java</excludes> </configuration> </plugin>
And it reports that: [ERROR] /mnt/shared/seth/courses/619/f17/src/my-app/src/main/java/com/mycompany/app/.,foo.java:[7,7] error: class App is public, should be declared in a file named App.java So, still getting .,* files. Wish this would work properly. -------------- Seth Copen Goldstein Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science Dept 7111 GHC 412-268-3828 On Sat, Aug 26, 2017 at 6:47 AM, Robert Scholte <rfscho...@apache.org> wrote: > I would expect it to be **/.* > **/ means zero or more directories > .* any file with a dot followed by anything > > Robert > > ps. repeating the same element within configuration like you did with > <excludes/> means the last one will win. > > > On Fri, 25 Aug 2017 23:26:58 +0200, Seth Goldstein <s...@cmu.edu> wrote: > > I am trying to exclude all files that begin with '.,' from being checked or >> compiled.
