Jesko Jochum created MJAVADOC-548: ------------------------------------- Summary: Misleading Setting "excludePackageNames" Key: MJAVADOC-548 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-548 Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin Issue Type: Improvement Components: javadoc Affects Versions: 3.0.1, 2.10.4 Environment: Windows 7 x64 Apache Maven 3.5.4 Reporter: Jesko Jochum
The setting {{excludePackageNames}} is not working, as I would expect, or should be renamed to something like {{excludePathNames}} with an updated description, to reveal what it is really doing. I have the default layout for the sources, i.e. they get stored in the {{${project.basedir}\src\main\java}} subfolder of my project. For testing purposes I sometimes create classes in the subpackage {{my.companyname.temp}}, which I do not want to have included in the generated javadoc, why I use the following {{excludePackageNames}} setting: {noformat} ... <!-- Exclude files in temporary packages --> <excludePackageNames>*.temp.*</excludePackageNames> ... {noformat} in my {{pom.xml}}. By doing this, I wanted to exclude all .java sources in the folders {{${project.basedir}\src\main\java*\temp*}} from the javadoc generation, but what I got was an exclusion of all .java sources, if there is a subfolder with the name {{temp}} in any segment of the path, even in the {{$\{project.basedir}}}. So, after moving the project into e.g. the folder {{D:\temp\}} no javadoc gets generated at all. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
