Robert Scholte commented on MJAVADOC-548: ----------------------------------------- Your description doesn't match with how this parameter should work/is described, see https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/javadoc-mojo.html#excludePackageNames Also notice that these are translated to the javadoc tool arguments {{-exclude packagename1:packagename2:...}} Please provide a minimal project to reproduce your issue. > 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: 2.10.4, 3.0.1 > Environment: Windows 7 x64 > Apache Maven 3.5.4 > Reporter: Jesko Jochum > Priority: Minor > > 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)
