You can exclude [1] those files, but then because the maven-compiler-plugin sets the sourcepath to your source roots, the files will be compiled anyway if they are referenced by others that are being compiled [2]. You could use -implicit:none in compilerArgs to prevent the corresponding *.class file from being generated though. So compilation will succeed, but the output will be "incomplete" (but maybe that's what you want after all).
