I would like to generate a sources jar but without some packages in my project.
Now I have this in my pom.xml
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
How to exclude specific packages?
You can configure the maven-source-plugin
with the excludes
attribute:
List of files to exclude. Specified as fileset patterns which are relative to the input directory whose contents is being packaged into the JAR.
A sample configuration where you would exclude every class under the package com.my.package
would be the following:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>com/my/package/**</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
