It depends what you're trying to do.
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).

Excluding source files even if they are referenced

[Alex Gerdov]

Hello,
I was wondering - is it possible to instruct the compiler plug-in to exclude 
source files even if they are referenced directly by other source files?
Thank you.
