Excluding packages and classes from jar

[Peter Horlock]

Hi,

I would like to define a profile to exclude certain packages and classes
from the jar builded -
we have an internal common package containing shared functionality, but for
a specific project for a specifc client I have to exclude certain classes
and packages
(because of security and licencing problems...)

I added something like this to my pom:
    <profile>
        <id>myflag</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <phase>package</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>jar</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <configuration>
                                <excludes>

<exclude>**/com/mycompany/mysubpackage/packageA/packageB/*</exclude>

<exclude>**/com/mycompany/mysubpackage/packageC/MyClass.java</exclude>
                                </excludes>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>

and called it like that:mvn package -P myflag

However, it didn't work! :-(
Any ideas, what wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Peter
