Maven: excluding java files in compilation

I have a folder of java sources which I wish to exclude from the compilation.

My folder is under qa/apitests/src/main/java/api/test/omi.

I added the following entry in the pom.xml under qa/bamtests but it didn't help. Is there an entry in addition I need to make?

       <build>
         <resources>
           <resource>
             <directory>src/main/java</directory>
             <includes>
               <include>**/*.properties</include>
               <include>**/*.xml</include>
               <include>**/*.xsd</include>
               <include>**/*.csv</include>
             </includes>
             <excludes>
               <exclude>src/main/java/api/test/omi</exclude>
             </excludes>
           </resource>
        </build>
Solution

  • Use the Maven Compiler Plugin.

    <plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <excludes>
      <exclude>**/api/test/omi/*.java</exclude>
    </excludes>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
