             Summary: Option in profiles to exclude modules from reactor
                 Key: MNG-5903
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5903
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Arend v. Reinersdorff


Sometimes it is useful to exclude modules from a reactor build.
One reason for this can be: Don't generate Javadoc for a testing module.

Since Maven 3.2.1 it is possible to exclude modules with command line options, 
eg. mvn -pl !integration-tests
See MNG-5230 "Command line option to exclude modules from reactor". In this 
ticket enabling module exclusion for profiles was discussed, but apparently not 
implemented.

I'm currently using the -pl command line option on our build server to exclude 
two projects of a multi module build from Javadoc generation. But I would much 
prefer to keep this logic in the pom.xml. Something like this:

<profile>
<id>javadoc</id>
<modules>
<module>!integration-tests</module>
</modules>
</profile>
