-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the sample project. Confirmed it is a bug.
> Misleading Setting "excludePackageNames"
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: MJAVADOC-548
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-548
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: javadoc
> Affects Versions: 2.10.4, 3.0.1
> Environment: Windows 7 x64
> Apache Maven 3.5.4
> Reporter: Jesko Jochum
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: mjavadoc-548-example.zip

> 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.
